“So you also must be ready,
because the Son of Man will come at an
hour
when you do not expect Him.”
(Matthew 22:44 NIV)
It was a frigid
January morning in Georgia. Ice floated on the lake forty yards out from our
dock. Three ducks swam between our property and the ice floe, diving
periodically and in sync. A squirrel scampered from his nest high in the tree
to gather dead leaves from branches nearby. He carried the mouthful up in the
frosty cold to make his nest cozy. Amid the rare, below-freezing temperatures,
life goes on.
