Spring Has Sprung?


God has a sense of humor.

I was talking to my friend, Griffin Van Camp, yesterday at church about that very subject, and how it presents itself in everyday life. We laughed about how God made us, the platypus, and other things in his infintely "wise" humor. Griffin also happened to mention that one of the things that makes God chuckle is the weather forecast. Point taken. Point Proven.

I'm looking out my window here at the office, and watching the wonder of weather. This morning's forecast was nothing more than mostly cloudy skies, a possible rain shower or two around the area, and temperatures near 50. What I am seeing outside is a wee bit different than that. SNOW is pouring from the heavens!!! Ah, yes, March in Tennessee strikes again. Unfortunately, the snow isn't sticking, but it's really funny to watch it come down on the first day of Spring. It's beautiful.

OO, I just received a phone call from my wife. The kids are getting out of school because of God's sense of humor. Hope it doesn't mess up your schedule too much. Grab some hot chocolate, marshmellows, make a fire, and celebrate SPRING! HA! I've heard it said that when March comes in like a lamb, it goes out like a lion.

I think I hear a roar in the distance...or is that a laughing hyena?

No kiddin'! As the old saying goes...If you want to hear God laugh, just tell him what your plans are! This time of year, planning is not an option when it comes to weather.
