"And I beheld, and heard the voice of one eagle flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice: Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth.... [Apocalypse (Revelation) 8:13]
What's strange is that where I live with my husband, we've hardly been touched by any weather-related chastisement. In fact, while the rest of the US is in deep freeze, we're having a mini-Spring. 55 to 60 degrees in January. Not hot enough to plant anything but cold-resistant veggies, but nice enough to walk the dog around the block. We've only had sparse snow, where we normally have at least a foot a year. We did get enough rain to fill the lake back up and replenish the ground water. At higher elevations we have a snow pack. We've faced other chastisements though ... our fair share to be sure. Probably the greatest chastisement is watching the world fall apart around us and not being able to do anything about it. The only thing we can do is pray. And maybe that's the whole point???
