Going No Further
By Mark Flippo
The Great Blizzard of 1888
More than 400 people in the Northeast died during the Great Blizzard, the worst death toll in United States history for a winter storm. On March 11 and March 12 in 1888, this devastating nor'easter dumped 40 to 50 inches (100 to 127 cm) of snow in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. Huge snow drifts buried houses and trains, and 200 ships sank in waves whipped up by fierce winds.
There are times in our lives we are made to come to a full stop and have no choice but to stop! How many times in your life has it come to a screeching halt? Join the crowd. You are surprised by a strange turn of events. You have no understanding of what is going on. You feel a little lost. We all know who has the answers for the whys. That's right, Jesus our Savior and King. He has to put the brakes on us from time to time so we do not become a runaway train. When those times happen we need to take a step back and get a fresh look at what is happening in our lives. When our perspective gets adjusted we can begin again at a much slower and more guided pace.
