The rainfall and flooding that occurred during the week took most of us by surprise, and we hope it never happens like that again. Even though property damage and water contamination are terrible re sults of severe weather, they are nothing compared to someone los ing his life. Our hearts were sad dened to hear of lives that were lost throughout our state during the rain and flooding, and our prayers and sympathies are extended to the fam ilies. The images brought to us through television and the reports delivered across radio were shocking. It seemed as if the water would never stop rising. Dams broke, streets were closed and bridges were im passable. The flood waters came, ind all we could do was to watch. There's nothing like severe weather to remind us of how frail we are as humans. We build our roads, bridges and houses, and wc expect them to protect us from the elements. There are limes when we feel that nothing can reach us or harm us. We are invincible! But then a simple thing like the weather reminds us not to think too highly of ourselves. We are not quite as invincible as wc thought. The comfort wc find during such times lies in our knowledge of God.

John Waters He is not a victim of severe weather and flooding but rather controls the universe. Our insignificance stands in sharp contrast to His mag nificence.
