Change

I hope you enjoy changing weather as much as I do, because we certainly have it here in Meridian. One day 25 degrees and the next 65 or 70. Pouring rain, sleet, ice, or crystal clear sunshine. Meridian's weather is forever throwing us a curve.

That's a lot like life, isn't it? Sometimes something happens that we had no idea was coming: sickness, job loss, accidents, or natural disasters. It works the other way also. Good news on test results, a hug from a child, a job promotion, a birthday or anniversary, can lift us to emotional highs. Our emotional life fluctuates from one extreme to the other. There is something - someone, in fact - you can count on to be unfailingly consistent. Jesus was the same yesterday as he is today. And he will be the same tomorrow. He is always there, always loves you, and will not be affected by the circumstances of your life. That is how I have survived the radical changes in my life. You can too.
