As usual, I'm a day late and a dollar short. Yesterday was Groundhog Day, and I have been made an "Official Honorary Member of PUNXSY PHIL'S FAN CLUB" - so says my card: "Pastor Dan is a True Believer in the One and Only Weather Prognosticator, Punxsutawney Phil." I would like to thank my good friend, and sometimes commenter on this blog, Pastor Frank Stoner, for bestowing this honor upon me. He even wrote to me on official "Home of the Groundhog" stationary. Frank pastors the Grange Church of God in Punxsutawney and we attended seminary together. Thanks Frank!For a little Groundhog Day info, you can check out some Wikipedia links:
- Groundhog Day
- Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania
- Punxsutawney Phil
- For fanclub info.
And in case you didn't know it, the movie "Groundhog Day" starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell - while set in the town of Punxsutawney - was actually filmed in Woodstock, Illinois.
Oh, and, btw... Phil didn't see his shadow this year... so that means spring is right around the corner! Yipee!!!

At least he didn't come out and say we're going to have an early spring because we're killing our planet with emissions that have brought about global warming. But I'm sure someone will politicize it that way.
I could use some global warming today, it's freezing out there.
