Storms

This appears to be the season of thunder storms in Myrtle Beach. I played golf this morning and had a great day, but this week wisdom made me cut to rounds short when the sky turned black and thunder started to roll around the sky. It is interesting that on both days we had no need to leave the golf course because the storm clouds passed by without even a few drops of rain. Often in my life I have been worried or even frightened by the storm clouds of life. Events that seemed beyond my control would take on threatening power. Those clouds usually passed without significant impact as well. We have a great built in capacity to overcome even the greatest of storms. A stormy day even makes our sunny days seem even more spectacular. Jesus calmed the storm on the sea, he walked on the water even when the waves made Peter shake, he breathed peace on the disciples and promised peace to us that passes all understanding, and that will help us handle anything this world can bring our way.
