It is a snowy day in January here in Newton New Jersey.
Sometimes when it snows here people get all excited, run to the supermarket and stock up on everything imaginable.
There are literally longer lines before a forecasted storm than in the Christmas shopping season.
Candles, Flashlights, even generators seem to be in demand and lines at checkouts can be grueling, especially if you really just want a quart of milk or a box of soap.
I wonder how people get into such a panic over something that mught not even be as bad as was forecasted. What is wrong with everyone these days when we have to stock so much food to ensure we will survive over A FULL DAY????!!!!
Jesus told us to be anxious for nothing. He did say to be wise but wisdom alone dictates we need not run out for a month of food and water when we will only have a few inches of snow.
Sometimes I think about the wise and foolish virgins.
Those wise ones did have their lamps full, yes.
BUT THEY WERE GOING TO MEET THE BRIDEGROOM.
Why can't we be as ready as they for our Lord as we are for the storm ahead.
Seems to me the loaves and fishes story would be a bit more helpful for a storm of this small magnitude in January 2014 and we spend our time with family and in prayer rather than joining forces of the crazies in the supermarket storm watch.
Maybe I just want a parking space , is this what my rant is all about?
NEVER GO TO SHOP RITE BEFORE A STORM!!!!!!!
New Jersey people are afraid of their own snow shadow
