ABBOTSFORD, BC
Jacob Fehr of Abbotsford has been rather sporadic in his church attendance as of late, but Pastor Dan says he has absolutely no reason to miss church tomorrow since he’ll be up by 5 AM to watch the hockey game.
“He certainly can’t say he slept in again,” said Pastor Dan. “We all want to cheer on Devon Toews, but that’ll be long over by the time our 10 o’clock service starts.”
Fehr says he plans to set his alarm for 4:45, which will give him just enough time to slip into a house coat and brew some coffee.
“Who knows, though, the game could go into quadruple overtime, in which case I might have to miss Pastor Dan’s sermon after all,” said Fehr. “We’ll see what tomorrow brings.”
Fehr’s wife Martha said she has no intention of getting up that early and has already warned her husband to keep his yelling and cheering to a low volume.
‘”I haven’t got up that early since I had to milk the cows every morning back home in Kleefeld,” said Martha. “I know I’ll be in church. And if Devon Toews bring home the gold before 10 o’clock, then so will my husband Jacob.”
