I barely noticed the changes in terrain and vegetation as we traveled to Houston last Thursday. But snapshot memories of the drive illustrate the transformation…from hilly pine forests to coastal plains littered with scrub brush and oak trees. And redbud trees, already well into their beautiful shows. Light green lace on the tops of big trees along the route proved that Spring is about to announce the termination of Winter. News reports already confirm the ravages of powerful Spring storms. Weather forecasts predict more to come. When Nature expresses anger building into rage, all we can do is take shelter; hide from the fury.

Only time can protect us from the future…for a little while. Nothing but amnesia can protect us from the past.
