“Behold he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him.”
Revelation 1:6
What do Mr. G and Pastor Washington have in common? One is a meteorologist, and the other a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Mr. G, a weather forecaster on a network news channel, has kept us glued to the television set over the past several years. Having come through the past Nor’easter’s we have become very attentive to what he has to say. With their electronic maps and weather graphic systems, weathermen have been able to predict within days, even hours, what the weather outlook and advisory is. They make us aware that the storms are coming. Lately, they’ve been pretty accurate.
So in preparation for the on-coming, impending weather, we go out and buy yet another shovel. We stock u the fridge and cabinets with groceries because what we have in the house already obviously is not enough. We tune our snowblowers and store up salt and sand, and we lay out our hats, boots, and gloves, just in case. But if you’re like me, you pray for a snow day, so you don’t have to get out at all. Either way, having been warned, we prepare and we wait, in anticipation of the storm.
