When You're Hot You're Hot


Temperatures are supposed to reach 100º degrees here in West Tennessee today and that can only mean one thing: It's time to order Christmas music. That's right. While everyone else is looking for ways to beat the summer heat, those of us in music ministry are having to look ahead to the month of December.

I've been driving around for the last two weeks with "The Splendor of Christmas" in my CD player and I've decided (choose wisely, Grasshopper) this is the one.

My wife always looks forward (NOT) to this special time of the year. The thought of hearing "Jingle Bells" and "Hallelujah Chorus" (it's almost more than she can handel .. no groaning, please) every single time she gets in my car is more than a little bit disturbing. It all sounds like a baroque(n) record to her.

If you happen to be mowing the lawn or working in the flower bed today, be very careful. Drink plenty of water and wear a hat. The heat can cause you to see and HEAR strange things .. like the sounds of Christmas music blasting the airwaves from the inside of a 2008 Corvette .. or a 1996 Ford Taurus.

Whatever.
