On Friday our town was hit with an F1 tornado with winds topping at 125 mph. Holly witnessed the event as rain whipped horizontally and then the sky opened up with apocalyptical size hailstones! Thank the Lord there was very little damage to the storm. Even our tomato plants were spared. Apparently storms of this magnitude are rare in Central Virginia though it's not unusual for one to experience a heavy thunderstorm. One woman who lives in Tornado Alley states that observant people can tell when a tornado is imminent. If the wind is whipping in one direction and abruptly reverses direction, followed by hail, then head for the basement.
Jesus encourages us all to be weather watchers: to observe and discern the signs of the times. Only then can a Christian truly be ready for whatever is coming.
