Troubles in Texas 

   We sympathize with Texans. We think of them as responsible, hard working, independent people. But a record-setting winter freeze overwhelmed their power industry, including green-energy windmills which froze. 

   The absence of electric power, drinkable water, and homes flooded by broken pipes has thrown some people back into the early 1800s. Some tried to keep warm in their cars or trucks, but unless they could gas up... Grocery stores are closed or open but with empty shelves. Some died from carbon monoxide.  

   A hurricane allows time to think. A once-in-a-century freeze is not fair.

   We feel for them, and we feel a little guilty. Then again, next hurricane season it might be us. 

The Captain

   We are coming to the day of decision, with the Lord seeking another soul. He is willing. Is the man? Don't assume anything. Tomorrow, Satan might oppose the Captain. For those of you who read the last page of a book first, forget it. Thursday, our surprise ending. 

Question

   What words in the Bible can be both terrifying and comforting? 

How about, The Lord has spoken.
