Goodbye to Winter

This morning, as I was bundled against the cold and walking Calvin, I remembered a long ago day.  I was a student at Fort Wayne Bible College on a cold and icy February morning sitting with my classmates in Daniel and Revelation when Rev. John Strubhar entered.  It was the first class of the day and, if I remember correctly, they started at 7:30 in those days.  Anyway, we were cold and miserable because of the weather and the Witmer building had not yet warmed up.  In dramatic fashion, Rev. Strubhar spread his arms wide and proclaimed in a boisterous voice, “Winter’s back is broken.  Oh, it may huff and puff for a little while but it knows its days are numbered.  Take heart, my friends.”

So take heart, my friends.  Winter is doomed to end and spring is just around the corner.
