We’ve enjoyed a very mild winter and it feels like we may be headed in the right direction.
And I always enjoy comparing what the forecasters predicted with what actually happened.
Prediction: I posted this pic from a USAToday blurb on 10/5/11.

Admittedly, most of the weather posts at this wee little blog are not flattering. Frigid temps, blizzard conditions, and salty roads just don’t bring out the inner Joel Osteen in me.

And there is no need to state the obvious…I am fully aware of the bitter reversal just ahead.
To my Texas brethren: This is not an in-your-face “hahahahahaha” but rather a pilgrim enjoying a seasonal perk before the harsh reality that is November-March makes its annual debut.
A friend from RPI took a crew to Alabama recently to help those impacted by the tornadoes there. This video provides a good reminder to remember those whose lives have been changed so dramatically and to ask the Lord to draw people to Himself via the storms of life.
