Ides of April is drawing near! Beware! To those in the United States: Have you done your taxes yet?
Harbingers of spring is a term I've heard most of my life. They seem more obvious back in the Eastern United States than here in California. I'm sure they're here, but mostly not noticeable to me. Weather is probably the biggest indicator, but that is not always a reliable way to look at the seasons. We had some very warm winter days. Come to think of it, we didn't have much of a winter at all this past few months. I guess the warm weather was maybe a harbinger of spring? Seems kind of silly to me, but that's L.A. La La Land as they sometimes say. La la la. I can't hear you...
"God is good," is reportedly what one of the flyers shot down in Iran said in his initial radio contact with his soon to be rescuers. This has always been true in my life. Even when my life seemed to be going down the tubes, it was because I was bad and not God. God is always good.
I can't see it any other way. Without the goodness of God then hope seems out of reach to me. I'll hang on to that mantra. "God is good!" Hallelujah and amen.
