It's storming here this morning. When I left for work, it was still a few miles out, and it was beautiful. Have you ever noticed how beautiful storms are? Nearly every storm you can think of has a majestic beauty about it - until you find yourself in it.
When I was little, I was extremely afraid of thunder storms, especially tornadoes, I believe because of some traumatic fishing trips my grandparents took me on! I remember my dad asking me one day, is there anything you can do about the storm? No. Does God have any control over that storm? Yes. Then what are you worried about?
A switch flipped in my head and from that point on, I've loved storms. Life throws some nasty storms at us, and they are always horrible, but we learn that there are some beautiful things about those storms. So, here's to the storms... especially from a distance!
