GLOBAL WARMING AND THE 100 YEAR SNOW

Well bless my heart!

One of my favorite sayings is “If I never see another snowflake, it will be too soon!” I’m talking about the weather here folks! No need to get your panties in a knot … yet.

I was blessed to be able to move South after years of enduring cold and snow. We retired first near South Padre and then moved on to middle-Georgia. The one time it snowed in Texas while we lived there, we were on vacation in Florida. Since moving to Georgia, it has snowed a few times. Though I complained, I did survive.

HOWEVER!!!

On our recent trip to Illinois, Ronald and I were blessed with several inches of snow. Blessed in this sense is used in a totally snarky, completely sarcastic way.

I was shocked and dismayed as I watched the heavy flurries accumulate. I had erroneously entered Illinois with a foolishly poetic mindset. “Black earth and gray skies” and “golden fields of grain and silver silos.” I had intoned these falsehoods in my imagination. What I got was snowflakes the size of elephants landing on every available inch of land and on every leaf. Argh!

It had not snowed on Halloween for 100 years until my visit. The snow stayed the entire time we were there. When I penguin-waddled across the crunchy, frozen ice and snow and got in the car to leave, our radio was playing, “Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!” God has a serious sense of humor is all I’m sayin’.

Now I am not going into the global warming debate. The snowflakes there, unlike Illinois snow, would be on a total meltdown. I’ll not risk saying more.

All I do say is that God is in control – always was and always will be. Period.

Blessings and prayers for a warm winter!

I encourage you to read the entirety of Psalm 147 and give praise to God for His control over nature … even if He does spread “the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes”!
