Rain

I am sitting under an umbrella on my patio enjoying a cigar and it starts raining hard, and it hits me. I have set under nothing in a hurricane on Kawaii in monsoon season in the Philippines tailand and many other places in the pacific. Sometimes God rains down on you things that are uncomfortable. The rain never used to bother me now it does. Maybe I need to revisit a couple of things; how God works, and the stewardship of faith.

Of course I am speaking metaphorical. The thunderstorms are a picture of life. God puts us through storms to strengthen our faith. Physically I got used to getting rained on even blind to it when I was in the Army, but when God puts us through storms in life we can't get used to them or we become numb to God speaking to us, or numb to what he is trying to teach us. The church is in a coma and only those of us that are awake can be the sheepdogs
