Yesterday I had the privilege of attending a workshop covering web development and branding. Our presenter was from Canada by way of North Carolina. At lunch we were discussing the weather patterns of west Texas. We explained that for us, a normal day is a day in which the wind blows a gentle breeze of 10 to 15 miles per hour. We also told him that 20 to 30 mile per hour winds would be pretty normal for a windy day. But then there are often 4 or 5 days per year in which the winds blow so hard that when you walk outside, the sky looks similar to a watered down glass of Diet Coke.
After giving the descriptions of the wind in west Texas, our presenter asked, “Why would you want to live here?”
There are a number of great reasons that I could list for wanting to live here: the people, the wide open spaces or many others. But I think a picture is worth a thousand words when God decides to show off a little.
