February 2
Its Ground Hog Day! Tradition says that if the hog sees his shadow today there will be six more weeks of winter. I grew up hearing old sayings. Many are found in the Bible. My Mom said "red at night, sailor’s delight...red at dawn sailor be warned." (Matt 16) My dad , "there is a fly in the ointment." (Ecclesiastes 10:1) “Pride goes before a fall,” grandmother chided. (Proverbs 16:18)
I grew up with these paraphrases of Solomon's wisdom. Pity I didn't grow up hearing, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me though he may die, he shall live." (John 11:25)
