You know, Larry, I was pondering this before I read your post. I was thinking of saying, Wonder why with millions of 'churches' around the U.S., wonder why in all of them, they have produced none with the faith to walk up in the face of a storm and tell it to be still?
It can be done. I have seen it done. During the first days of my courtship with B.L., My second husband, I was at this house. There was a terrible storm raging. It had trees bent over to the ground; it was threatening to tear down his two story garage building. He called me to come out into the yard with him. He said, I want to show you the power of God.
He stood, raised up his hand, and said to that storm, Peace be still. And as God is my witness, that wind and rain stopped IMMEDIATELY.
I have never seen one like that since, and that was in Dec. 1977. I know there has been lots of bad storms since then; but I have not witnessed one here.
