"Hey Buddy. Can you spare a cup of water?" OK, so we don't often hear that in our daily lives but it's a request I put before you today. Evidently the water line from the main on the street (600+ ft away from church) has frozen somewhere across the school yard behind the Church. The town and the plumber say there's nothing that can be done other than to await the spring thaw. So, I'm willing to give up somethings for Lent but I hadn't considered that it was going to be flush toilets, showers and drinking water. Please say a prayer for warm weather or some other divine intervention as the thaw is still five or six weeks away from beginning in this part of the north. Either that or perhaps a prayer that I can find a plumber to do SOMETHING to get us water!! Fr. Tim
