I heard a local meteorologist say today that we have had many more above average temperature days than below average temperature days this winter. I wasn't surprised or disappointed by his assessment...less fighting that heavy coat, less shoveling of snow, and even a round of golf played a few weeks back on a 60- plus degree day! All in all, it's been a very mild winter so far. Now, I know that might change quickly as an arctic surge could work its way down from Canada or a Nor'easter could work its way up the mid-Atlantic coastline. Our flirtations with springtime this weekend may fool us into thinking winter is done, but don't put your coat and gloves away just yet. A few realists among us have expressed concerns about March and even April. Next week and next month are yet to unfold, and they may bring that jolt of winter that will remind us of the necessity of our winter wear. But until that time comes, get out and enjoy the wonder of God's winter warmth. No matter the season, the promise of God's presence, as the prophet Isaiah encouraged, is that garment of praise that is always appropriate.
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday morning for Bible study and worship. Invite a friend, as many of you did last Sunday, and join your Westwood family as we celebrate the wonder of God at work among us.
