I decided to write about the recent use of the word "unsurvivable" in regards to the storm surge anticipated from Hurricane Laura as it approached the Louisiana coast. As with many predictions the bark was worse than the bite and the storm was survivable. Remember Chicken Little and the falling sky? We have succumbed to the need for fear over fact in our news reporting, weather predictions and most everything involving our health and welfare.
But, as I began to write, I noticed that the sky had darkened, a stiff wind from the west had cropped up and it appears we will be getting our first rain in quite a while. There is a large Volkswagen rally in the area to the west of our motor home, and while many of the display tents set up have blown down and some people are leaving, many others are still coming. I guess it's a case of some people running from the storm and others coming to experience it.
Human nature is funny. Life is funny. The point.........we won't get out of this life alive, so face it, make the best of what comes and trust God for the eternal destination He has promised those who are devoted to Him. So far it hasn't rained a drop and the people keep going and coming. Go figure.
