“Tornadoes and God” I personally do not agree with Piper’s claim that fierce tornadoes are the fingers of God. Also, I do not believe that God directly determined the tornado to kill all who died in the natural disaster, including babies and children. The Bible states that Jesus holds all of nature together. Yes, I believe that God can prevent natural disasters. On the other hand, I still believe that sometimes God shows us He causes natural disasters as a judgment against sin. I do not…

Memory Storm Imagine driving down a road, late at night, and not being able to see lines on the road. Looking out the window and seeing nothing but a white sheet. Feeling helpless as to where you are or where the road even is. Driving down the interstate during a blizzard helped me understand everything doesn’t always turn out the way you want it to. To give some background, Hailey Hershey, my best friend for as long as I can remember, had just moved; my friend Amber and I thought it would be…

Isaac Monroe Cline was the American who thought he had the power to control the weather. Cline was the man in charge of the Texas Section of the new United States Weather Bureau in September of the year 1900. At this time, a hurricane ignored by Cline, swallowed the city of Galveston, Texas, leaving thousands dead. It can be argued that Cline was to blame for being so arrogant in not recognizing the inconsistent weather signs and acknowledging there was an unpreventable storm headed towards the…

“Crow Hill” The line from this poem of “When it is not wind it is rain” reminded me of every day in Florida. The weather here is so bipolar. One second it can be a sky full of direct sunshine and then the next second it is pouring down rain with a heavy overcast and booming thunder. Most of the time I am inside when this happens but a few times I have been caught outside.
