The Water is Rising

Christopher took some pictures of the Marias River on our way home today.  It is now almost up to the Interstate!
All the streams in Montana are overflowing; and, rivers are going over their banks and flooding homes and roadways.   As we came down, we tried to see if there was still snow in the mountains, and I am sure there is, but we could not see it for the  cloud  cover.   Tomorrow it is forecasted to be sunny, followed by rain on Saturday and Sunday.

If there is anything that tells man he is not in control, it is when the forces of nature become disasters.   Man, in all his worldly wisdom, cannot stop it.  To a degree, we can protect ourselves from its ravages, but we cannot stop it, or even turn it aside.   At what point, will man turn to God for help?

Our Queensland floods last year were a nightmare. We were cut off for a couple of weeks..very scary. I pray all well for you there. Blessings and Gods love.
