Gale Force Winds
Folks in the know along the Western basin of Lake Erie say that they haven’t seen anything like it in more than 10 years. The present cold front with its continuous, strong, southwest winds – and gusts approaching 50mph – has literally blown the water east.
Boats in the marina where we keep our boat are either in the mud or lying on their sides on dry land. The water has gone out from underneath them…as much as 6 feet of it! One might think someone pulled a plug on Lake Erie! Actually, the water has been “sloshed” east. I hope it comes back soon!
In addition to the weather story today, the news brings reports of Iran’s successful launching of medium range rockets. The country seeks to militarily powerful.
Perhaps a true lesson in real power is in the forces which can take a Great Lake and “drain” its waters. We need perspective in life. It would make all of us more humble before the Creator of this universe and the Creator’s power.
There is an ancient story of how God delivered God’s people from slavery in Egypt by parting the waters of the Red Sea. My view of Lake Erie’s Western Basin this afternoon teaches me that such stories of the workings of God are absolutely true. Talk about power.
