Good morning,
Coffee is done. Drinking a big cup of Door County Candy Cane coffee.
Well the forecast for today is "major snow storm". Prepare by filling your gas tanks on your cars, make sure your snow blower starts, have plenty of food and milk in the house. If you have a generator make sure you have enough gas. That is what we heard all day yesterday right into the night. School closings are planned, other civic events cancelled, and every kid is hoping for a snow day with an early start on Christmas vacation.
It is good to be prepared for weather events. I truly agree with that. But sometimes as much as we prepare we are not prepared for everything. My wife and I went through one of these before. Our check list was complete and we were confident we could ride out the blizzard. How did we know the furnace motor would burn out. Quite the cold dilemma!
Proverbs 27:1) Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
We thought we were prepared. We were still better off than those who had not prepared. We heard of many who lost power and did not have generators and later their pipes froze and burst. Our little generator kept our small electric heaters going. We weren't too warm but we did not freeze.
The lesson is this. Often times we have plenty of warning and we should prepare. But we procrastinate. The Bible has plenty to say about procrastination.
Proverbs 20:4 - The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; [therefore] shall he beg in harvest, and [have] nothing.
Heed warnings whenever possible. Try to avoid a mess that could be avoided.
God bless,
Marty
