Hello Blog World,
This is officially my first blog and what a time to do so. On Saturday, March 13th, the roughest storm I've ever encountered during my 23 years of life on this Planet we call "Earth" occured. Around 9AM I went to pick up my Wife's Boss' computer and on the way back I picked up a headlight for our week old 2007 Dodge Caliber. I received a phone call from Erika and she said, "Babe, don't come home a tree has fallen and knocked the power out". I replied, "wow" and she continued on to say, "...and the tree fell on Crystal's car". Suddenly, I felt a chill run through my body, not because I thought she was hurt she was in the house "getting her hair did" at the time but because I had a feeling that one of the two trees adjacent from each other were going to fall. Earlier before I left I was within the trajectory of the the tree that fell checking the left headlight I received a ticket from the night before but, I had a premonition of that piece of lumber falling so I followed my instinct and moved. I think I have a sixth sense of seeing things before they happen (Final Destination like lol). Crystal said to me, "you should've told me you felt that way I would've moved my car" (I do feel somewhat guilty for not telling her hopefully her insurance company totals the vehicle and purchases her a new one). What makes all of this worse is that I have 2 computers to fix with a third on the way, I missing out on money people!!!! The aftermath of this weekends rain and wind storm was cinematically horrific, the thought of the "end of days" did run through my mind I admit. Down powerlines, twenty-foot fallen lumber, and blocked roadways made me feel trapped in this huge world. Now if this doesn't scare or at least makes the non-believer ponder about God and who He is, I don't know what will. Here in New York we don't experience storms of this magnitude so when one passes through it kind of feels like the "Hand of God" coming down on His people.
So let's see what did I learn from this storm and blackout. Well first I realized that God's force is mightier than any force on this earth. Whose breath is that strong that it can knock down an 1 ton (I might be underestimating the weight) tree causing utility lines to snap in half and crumble to the ground? I also realized that we rely on electricity way too much. What would happen if we had a world wide blackout? One thing I am happy about is after a storm there is always sunlight. Who reading this blog is going through a torrential storm like the one explained in this reading
