The Weather

The weather is certainly interesting in west Texas. One minute the sky is brown with dirt flying around while the wind blows constantly. It can be hot during the day, but at night it is cool. And, thankfully, the humidity is almost nil! Yet, we were not prepared for Saturday night when the hail came.

While dining in Midland, the rain began and soon there was the thud of hail falling on the roof - and our car! As soon as we could finish eating, we drove home only to catch up with the storm and drive through the hail again. It was blinding at times. But, we made it home.

When we arrived home, I decided to put my truck under the covered parking at the bank across the street before the hail arrived. But, the parking lot was filled to overflowing with cars from who knows where! Finally, I found one last spot in the bank drive-thru two blocks away.

Sherry and I are enjoying the changing weather because it is always a challenge to decide what to wear for the day! As I write these words, the weatherman said, "Changes are on the way." Great, now it will probably snow! Whatever happens, though, there is nothing I can do about it.

I am glad God did not give me the authority to control the weather. My only job is to talk about it - and rejoice in the fact that God created the forces of nature. Everything God created is good. In fact, God is good. There is no one like my God!
