Advent Project - Day 18: Traveling Plans

Every year, the Christmas season is a busy one for traveling.  It's the one time of the year when almost everyone is getting together with loved ones to share in the celebration.  Fortunately, my wife and I won't need to travel this year, but we do have several family members coming into town.

However, with all the traveling, it can throw some kinks into the daily workings of the church.  The last few years, when I was the worship leader at our church, I was unable to help with the Christmas Eve/Christmas services because I was out of town.  In some settings, that might not be a big deal, but in our small church that essentially meant that I had to pass the musical responsibilities on to our pastor and his wife.  Fortunately, they enjoyed doing that, so it wasn't too big a deal.

So, sometimes it's this time of year that we have to make some choices between family and church obligations, because we can't be everywhere at once.  Hopefully you don't have any particularly tricky choices to make yourself this year!
