I am doing Good Sunday Mornin on Saturday Night this week. Usually I type it before bedtime Saturday and submit it on Sunday Morning. I fear my generator will run out of gas during the night; we have been out of electricity since 11:00 am Thursday morning—probably a day or two yet before they get the poles up and our power is restored. Last Wednesday night we had quite a blow come in. I woke up around 4:00 when the wind hit. Looking outside it was just rain, and I thought "we're gonna miss this one." When I got up again about daylight, I thought "we gonna catch a bad one." We had a blizzard going. My barn that sits about 50 yards south of the house had got up and left—right when the stock here at home needed it the most. I have no idea where it was, but about 4:30 in the afternoon (when the snow stopped of course) it came back and sat down right where it always stays. We smile at the thought of a barn leaving and returning. I am very confident that my barn was actually there, but due to the clutter of the storm, I was unable to see it. Sometimes in the matter of day to day life, we have quite a "storm" blow in. We might even wonder where God is, and why all this is happening. In my old leather bound book there is a story of a feller named Lazarus that died, and his sister, Martha says to Jesus "if you had been here none of this would have happened!" (That is right out of Shortgrass Standard Version) Of course, we know God had orchestrated the whole course of events in order to show himself strong. When the storms of life blow, we'll do well to know that our God is there for us even if there is some "clutter" from the storm that makes it hard for us to see Him.
The storm wasn't that hard on the cattle. I haven't heard of any losses other that all the power poles that snapped—hundreds of them. Have yourself a good Sunday mornin and a good rest of the week.
