It is odd to think that Jerusalem in Israel and Dallas, Texas are at almost the same latitude on the globe. Is our weather that different then? Israel is not all that familiar with snow either -- the word "snow" is only in the Old Testament and New Testament less than 30 times, and that usually is as a comparative of how white something can be.
Well, every now and then in Texas and Israel it comes down hard! Psalm 147: 16 "[The Lord] gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes." That must have ben written after a storm like our First Day of Spring -- Sunday morning. Some asked if we would even be having church. But by Noon, snow was fading. Psalm 147: 18a "[The Lord] sends out his word, and melts them...." This Texas boy was glad to see the blue sky, glad to know God stays in charge!
