Plans

We got a smattering of snow. Mostly it just rained, and rained, and rained. Our yard, never the envy of any homeowner, is now a mud lake. There is snow in the mountains I hear. We saw a brief snow shower, and then it mixed into rain again. I guess I'll put away the cross-country skis till the next snow scare.

It was kind of funny how everyone prepared for the snow that never came. All day, the newspeople forecast and discussed the snow, the grocery stores did a brisk business, kids put off doing homework...people everywhere were making plans based on snow.

And then, it didn't come.

All those plans for naught! Funny how sometimes we plan so carefully for things that might never come, but so often put off planning for the things we know will come to pass.

1 Corinthians 15:36-37,42-44,50-52 (NIV)
How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. [37] When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. [42] So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; [43] it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; [44] it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. [50] I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. [51] Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--- [52] in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
