Thunder snow
Wow, that sounds so impressive! It’s the prediction for the
weather here today, but so far the sun is shining out of a clear, cold blue
sky. I see it’s snowing on the west coast, but no sign of the powerful thunder
snow up here (yet)...
Then again, do I really want thunder snow and all its
potential disruptions? It sounds like it could not only trap us in our home
through treacherous roads, but also blitz our power or our internet or
telephone or everything.
Funny how we seem to have an inherent urge to flirt with the
wild side, to experience something that gives us a thrill because it is
intrinsically full of danger. Of course we all want to walk away unscathed and
get on with our lives, but there is a frisson of excitement at the thought of
high drama in the weather forecast.
The disciples weren’t too chuffed when their trip across the
water turned into a struggle with violent winds and seas. They cried out to
Jesus for help and he expressed wonder at their lack of faith, before calming
the storm.
I don’t think any of us court testing times in our lives,
but the odd brush with exciting weather ... gets the blood pumping.
