A reflection on the seasons
One reality of living in this great State of Kansas is the certainty that we experience four distinct seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Another reality is that sometimes those seasons change incredibly quickly. For example, the last two days of 2024 were so warm with temperatures in the mid-60s that it felt like Spring. Less than a week later, as we crossed the threshold into 2025, the temperature plummeted into single digits with ice and blizzard conditions as snow blanketed our state. Personally, I enjoy the different seasons of our Kansas weather. I would tire of the weather if it was always bitterly cold or exceedingly hot all year. Now, what does the change in weather have to do with our spiritual life? This is supposed to be an article about religion, not a weather forecast!
