Greetings!: Rain or Snow?

Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them. So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord. That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime. My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ. So, thanks again for joining me. Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Rain or Snow?

Now here is something for you to think about:
A Russian couple were walking down the street in Moscow one night when the man felt a drop hit his nose. "I think it's raining", he said to his wife.
"No, that felt more like snow to me", she replied.
"No, I'm sure it was just rain" he replied.
Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument about whether it was raining or snowing. Just then they saw a former official of the Communist Party walking toward them.
"Let's not fight about it", the man said. "Let's ask Comrade Rudolph whether it's officially raining or snowing"
As the official approached, the man said, "Tell us, Comrade Rudolph, is it officially raining or snowing?"
"It's raining, of course", he replied and walked on.
But the woman insisted, "I know that felt like snow!". To which the man quietly replied, "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"
