Great story!
God made all the powerful storms and the rough and destructive forces of nature, and He thought those were "very good". God must be male.
It was his masculine side
Ever been in a hurricane? The power and force just overwhelms me. Something about wind...
You know, Gods name YHVH is said to take on the form of breathing. YH aka Yud Hey (inhale) VH aka Vav Hey (exhale). When one speaks, it includes breathing. Ironically, the first thing a new born baby does is .... breath. The last thing somebody does before they die is... breath. Take it for what it's worth. (Ecc 3:11 niv). We see God Speaking creation into being. aka "God said". Prior to that, we see his Spirit hovering over the waters. This same word for Spirit is also translated wind. "God sent an East Wind, God sent a West Wind. In the NT, wind and spirit are also from the same greek word. It's clearest example is John 3. Replace Spirit and wind with pnuma... it's the same word.
And the whole earth is groaning, as Paul writes in Romans. You know, to groan ya gotta have a breath.... It's just a facinating idea to me. So when I feel the winds, especially the strong winds, I'm reminded of how God created the first Adam. He "Blew" and that requires a bit more than just breathing. It denotes force.
Ok, so I'm a nut and not laying all my cards on the table here... But something about the wind and how powerful it is inspires me.
Stove, how did the hunting go?
Hey, this is supposed to be a positive thread lol! Only thing positive about hunting now is waiting for December to roll around so the farmer will cut his crop down and hopefully I can get my tent (if it didn't blow away last night) closer than 200 yards....
Yeah, the venison roast was from earlier this year.
