Is there anything more annoying than the phrase, "Back when I was a kid..."
Which is usually followed by some story about walking 5 miles to school in the snow.... barefoot.... uphill both ways....
Well, today is my turn to be annoying.
Have you looked outside?
It looks like the middle of April. "Back when I was a kid...." the first snow of the year that stuck was on Halloween.
I remember getting ready for "Trick or Treating" by putting on my Lone Ranger costume (I was always the Lone Ranger).... only to put on layers of coats, hats, gloves, boots.... which made me look like a cross between the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man and a Raccoon.
Anyway, we could count on SNOW for Halloween.
I saw people on motorcycles all over Colville on Saturday -- January 11th. That is just wrong.
Every Monday I am a primary crew member with the Ambulance service. So for the last few weeks, I have been bundling up for work because of the cold temperatures. Today, I left the Underamor gear at home because it is sunny and warm. That is just wrong.
Anyway, I have a couple thoughts to pass along for you to keep in mind as you travel through your week:
#1. Please send up prayers of strength and healing for those battling the flu. This year, it seems especially aggressive and resilient.
#2. Take a moment to look up at the sunshine and thank the Good Lord for such a beautiful day. We often take for granted what a breathtakingly beautiful land we are blessed to live in.
Psalm 118:24
"This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it."
I'm praying for you....
Pastor Shane
