'Before the Flood'

'Before the Flood' is a live album by Bob Dylan and my favorite band, aptly-named The Band. And I can't help but think of this album's title while we are all waiting for the Red River to crest in the next couple of days.

Many of us have events in our lives that are so significant that we can't help but think of life in two sections: before that event and after that event. Before that death, and after it...before that big move, and after...or maybe, for you, it's before the flood and after it.

I've been reflecting on my own big events during the last few days, and I'd welcome you all to join me in that reflection, if it's helpful for you. What are the big events in your life that marked a signficant change or milestone...before and after?

If last year's flood was one of those events for you, you are being held in prayer by many people in this community, and by our community at Trinity, as we wait to see what this year's flood will bring.
