40 times?  i'd think people would get the message after the 3rd time or so.

  If God is causing the floods to send a message, where would they move to? Like hey, let's move to Kansas. God will never find us there.

I have a sort of similar story, never like bringing God into these, maybe because I am Agnostic.

 

There is a very long very steep hill and a town at the bottom in the Canyon. So where the road gets to the bottom there is a sharp turn to go along the bottom of the gulch. A Winery on the outside of the bend got wiped out  last year, Semi did not stop and went straight through it and into the River along with a lot of the wine.

 

So somebody I know went to school in the area, belongs to the Fire Dept etc and I know this has happened at least twice, he reckons 8 times he knows of.

 

Went past the other day and they are rebuilding.....

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
