La Suegra

So it was cold when I went to bed. It was cold when I got up. It is cold in my office.

Snow and ice have been following me since my December trip to pick up a bus for missions in Muskegan, MI. It snowed 6 inches that day and the snow reached as far south as Nashville. We drove for 10 hours in ice and snow.

Then a week or two after we were home it snowed in Atlanta. Next while visiting my daughter in Nashville, it snowed 5 inches in one day for a fun trip home. A week or so later, I left for Monterrey Mexico for 10 days of missions.  Warmth! No - it was 34 degrees except for two afternoons. Now there is snow outside my Atlanta window again.

El Nino is dead and La Suegra (don't take it seriously mom!) has taken his place. Global warming is out and global cooling is in. 

It reminds me of the disappearing rain forests. "Thousands of acres a day!" cried Hollywood fundraisers.  20 years later there are still plenty of rain forests. There is always a conspiracy and always a cause but rarely are they checked out thoroughly before the public buys in?

What's the latest Christian craze that we are excited about? What is the latest cause? We need to make sure that we check them against Truth. If not, we might find ourselves to be Al Gore: explaining why his book on global warming is covered in snow in 49 United States.

What does the Bible say about these crazes?
