Where is God’s Majesty in February?
February 26, 2008 |
Friday, January 25th - it was a beautiful sunny day here in Cincinnati. If I’d known then that I would spend 30 of the next 32 days suffering through a black, white and grey landscape, I probably would have enjoyed that Friday a heck of a lot more than I did. (And I know it’s been 30 of 32 days because www.wunderground.com has a wonderful ”History” page on their site which let’s you see the last time you saw the sun.)
I can’t stand February in Cincinnati because of the weather. At some point during the month, I’ve had enough. I’ve reached that point for this winter - having suffered through our tenth straight day of some sort of precipitation.
And when I’ve reached the point, I have a hard time praying, worshipping and being otherwise joyful. I want to see the glory and the majesty of God’s creation - not the stark, lifeless, bleakness outside of my window.
But, I guess we all go through phases throughout the year where we have to look extra hard for God’s work in our lives. It doesn’t come easy all of the time.
And I know that March is around the corner and the Reds do play their first spring training game tomorrow.
And I know that the clouds will part and the sun will shine again.
I just need to remember where I put my sunglasses.

At least I had a week’s repreave in Rome where it was nice and sunny everyday. I love winter, and I’m sick of this stuff, too!
