“A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT!”
Matthew  16:2-3
“He replied, ‘When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.’”

It was Snoopy, the dog in the "Peanuts" comic strip, who was always trying to write the great American novel. As Snoopy pecked away on his typewriter, imagining himself to be a world-famous author, his opening line never changed ... It was a dark and stormy night.

I recall a dark but not stormy night as far as the weather was concerned, but stormy as in a dangerous situation. Our car had over-turned while being towed behind a wrecker. Our son was badly injured and the tow truck driver took the rest of the family to the hospital, leaving me behind with our wrecked automobile. 

In the darkness I only had a flashlight to warn on-coming traffic that they were approaching an accident scene. It was just a short time later when two shady looking characters stopped -- not to assist me, but to help themselves. As they circled around the damaged vehicle, I overheard one say that there was nothing of value to them. They went back to their car and quickly drove off into the night.

I am convinced that the Lord was watching out for me on that dark and potentially stormy night. He has always been there when I needed Him. Thanks, Lord!

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
