Thinking About the Weather
At first glance, this may seem like one of those posts where I am groping to come up with something to say but the weather has been of particular interest to me this winter. In a state where the snow can start falling in October and can continue until April or May, this has been a very mild winter for us. Yet I find it interesting that there have been quite a few concert cancellations in some of the southern states recently. Ice and 6+ inches of snow have made traveling difficult and unsafe and have, therefore, cut into the revenue of many gospel groups. I find myself wondering if this was a fluke year or if people will start heading north for the winter to avoid the extreme cold and snow. I think sometimes God changes even weather patterns to confound the wise–a perfect way for Him to prove that He is God and we are not. We may make our plans but our Father orders our steps … and the weather.
Y’all are lucky. Here in the Willamette Valley, we pray for snow. But, it’s the Pacific NorthWET, not the Pacific NorthSNOW. You’d have to go down to Southern Oregon to get the snow.
Oh my. I have a friend in Virginia who is constantly complaining about the snow but getting lots of it. It’s too bad snow can’t be transported from people who don’t desire it to those who do.
I have friends in Klamath Falls. It apparently snows there a lot, but Albany’s just in the right pace between K Falls and Portland that it’s too low and too far south.
