Whenever we have huge weather events there is a certain segment of the population that will claim it’s a sign from God – While I was out shoveling yesterday, (yes, I broke down and decided to help) like a gift from the Father himself the most comforting quote went through my mind. I really think it sums-up my feelings about the day.
I am going to teach it to my kids today as a memory verse while they are away from school (on their fifth snow day for the year). That’s right an involved parent taking an active roll in the spiritual education of her children even on a snow day… It’s going to go something like this…. Theresa: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Truman: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Cole: What she means is Old Testament, Mr. Truman, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
Theresa: Exactly.
Anna : Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Cole: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes…
Anna: The dead rising from the grave.
Theresa: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together – mass hysteria.
You’re laughing because you know I just might do it… Extra point for anyone who can name that movie!
I LOVE that you do funny stuff with the kids. Makes me smile. Can’t wait till we have a cousin to add to the mix!
Ghostbusters!
