During my first week as a school teacher, I was introduced to many different protocols that helped to create a healthy and safe learning environment for my students.  One of those was explained in a handout titled “Rainy Day Procedures.”

If inclement weather was in the forecast, we had a precise plan for how to re-direct our day.  I knew how to respond to the storm — there was no uncertainty about how to proceed.  The plan brought calm and confidence.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how I need to have a similar plan for the storms of life.    Weather is subject to change, so in the VLOG below, I share some thoughts on how to not be caught unawares by sudden downpour.

 …examine all things; hold fast to what is good. 

Stay away from every form of evil.
