In the middle of the great snowstorm that wasn\u2019t last week, I was reminded how much we like to know what\u2019s coming before it gets here. As a sports fan I\u2019ve been disturbed to hear that local sportscasts are giving way to weather forecasts. These are the new heroes of the ten o\u2019clock hour and it\u2019s causing me problems.<\/p>\n
Picture my wife and I \u2013 each grabbing for the remote; me to switch over to \u201cSportscenter\u201d and she to find that local prognosticator with the power to see into tomorrow and tell us whether it happens in shorts or a raincoat! How we hate to be caught off guard.<\/p>\n
Take the new \u201cScout\u201d system on I-435. Are they actually going to post \u201cyou\u2019re sitting here because there\u2019s a wreck on the other side of 435 and your fellow drivers can\u2019t stop rubber-necking\u201d on the Scout?<\/p>\n
Well, it reminds me of something lacking in our lives: mystery. God is a mystery. Truth is, God cannot be forecast, and why would you want to? There is nothing more amazing than being caught off guard by the furious love of God \u2013 to be swept up in a moment that is filled with grace and reality. Take a chance this week, go to church, and embrace the mystery of God.
