As I write there’s a furious blizzard going on here in Monument, Colorado. In fact, our power went out while I was writing this, and it’s only through my phone’s hot spot that I can connect! The blizzard has been predicted now for several days. (I wish I had captured the warning during yesterday’s 60-degree temperature!)

The blizzard warning.

Despite yesterday’s calm and despite that sometimes storms are over-predicted, everyone planned around it. Today’s classes were cancelled yesterday; we took our granddaughter home last night so she would be at home during the blizzard and not stuck at our house. My son opined yesterday, “All this panic and preparation we’ll probably get half an inch.”

Not so.

The blizzard arrived on schedule.

So kudos to the weather people! And kudos to those of us who took heed. 

31 Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise.
32 Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.
33 Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the LORD, and humility comes before honor. (Proverbs 15.31 – 33, NIV)
