THE STORM


~THE SIG BOX 3~


TORNADO WARNING !!!!!!!!!

Springtime in Iowa brings about interesting weather: whether you believe it or not !!!!!!!!  Such was the case this evening.  I stepped out of the shower about eight, after a hectic day, and heard on the local TV station that my county was under a Tornado Watch.
By nine, we were under a Warning, and the sirens started blowing in my small North Iowa community about 9:30 !!!!!!!!!!!

A Long Wailing Siren---my poor poodle jumped into my lap !!!!!!!
As I lit candles, and closed windows, and worried about my friends, who all live alone, and watched the hail about the size of golf balls
(wonder if I'll need a new roof!!!), I kept peeking out the windows...
Yes....I know you are supposed to stay away from windows,
 but OH....
The Lightening Show !!!!!!!
Greater than the Fourth of July !!!!!!
Lighting up the entire sky......

THE STORM

POWERFUL, MASTERFUL, LIGHTENING STRIKES,
CREATING PATTERNS WOVEN ON SOME CELESTIAL LOOM
INTRICATELY DESIGNED TO LIGHT THE SKY
HORIZON TO HORIZON, AND STILL LEAVE ROOM

FOR CLOUDS OF HUES OF BLUES AND BLACKS
MOUNTING EVER-UPWARD ON THEIR FLIGHT
TOWARD HEAVEN'S GATES, WHERE ANGELS
WATCH OVER US THROUGH THE NIGHT.

THE RAIN STARTS, FIRST LARGE DROPS,
THEN STEADY RAIN, THEN TORRENTS POUR,
AND HAIL BEGINS TO POUND UPON THE ROOF
CREATING CRESCENDO: YOUR HEART WILL SOAR!!

ALMIGHTY GOD, OUR FATHER, CREATOR OF US ALL,
HAS BROUGHT ABOUT THIS STORM TO SIMPLY PROVE
THAT NO MORTAL MAN CONTROLS OR CAN FOR STALL
HIS PERFECT POWER, OR HIS PERFECT LOVE.

SO EVEN WHEN THE STORMS RAGE ALL ABOUT US
AND WE THINK THERE IS NO PLACE WE CAN BE
SAFE, THE LORD WILL GENTLY REACH OUT FOR US
AND SAY "SINNER, TAKE MY HAND AND FOLLOW ME.
