February 2
Its Ground Hog Day! Tradition says that if the Ground Hog sees his shadow today there will be six more weeks of winter. I grew up hearing these 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 said, "there is a fly in the ointment." Ecclesiastes 10:1.
“Pride goes before a fall,” my grandmother chided. (Proverbs 16:18)
I grew up hearing 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)
