Winds.

There are winds that blow to bring a summer or winter storm. Others blow to cool our bodies on a hot day. Yet some blow over the earth to give us our weather, like our jet stream here in North America.

Some winds don't even come from the earth's rotation and amounts of humidity.

Some come from people.....as in "being very talkative"....like in "being a wind bag".

There is another kind of wind that I have experienced once again, being in Regina........THE CONSTANT WIND. I know it's weather related of course, but this wind just doesn't stop.

The only thing that woke me up in the night was the loud whistling outside. Wind. Prairie wind. It continues on and on, never letting up. Outside, it takes your breath away.....and it's COLD.

I think they should plant huge buffers of trees all along the western border between Alberta and Saskatchewan.....hundreds and hundreds of miles of trees. I think it would make a difference.

Perhaps we could hire university students as tree planters to make us a new forest for the southern half of the province. That may stop the wind from coming from the west but I don't think we'll ever be able to stop the wind coming from the south........

Between the winds of the earth and winds of people/politicians......it's the wind of the Spirit of God that truly refreshes...never too cold or too hot or too much or too little. Just right.
