My Philosophy of Rain

It is rain­ing right now in the San Fran­cis­co Bay Area. It has been rain­ing all day.

This is rare, and it under­stand­ably con­fus­es Stan­ford stu­dents. They came to Stan­ford because they thought all of Cal­i­for­nia was San Diego. That and because Stan­ford is awe­some. But the San Diego thing was def­i­nite­ly a tip­ping fac­tor. Rain is not fea­tured promi­nent­ly in the Stan­ford recruit­ing mate­ri­als.

In sit­u­a­tions like this some peo­ple con­tem­plate skip­ping Bible study (you know who you are).

I thought I should take this oppor­tu­ni­ty to clar­i­fy my posi­tion on rain: Bible stud­ies do not get can­celed on account of rain. That’s base­ball. And pic­nics. But not Bible stud­ies.

And you should not skip Bible stud­ies because it is rain­ing. Show up wet. That’s why we bap­tize you. So you’ll learn not to fear water. And if you haven’t been bap­tized, come to Bible study and kill two birds with one stone.

And as for our week­ly meet­ing… don’t even think about it. We’ll have that one even if Jesus tells me the Rap­ture is sched­uled for 7:35pm on a Wednes­day. I fig­ure those who are left behind will have some­thing to talk about in our absence.

So… yeah. That’s what I have to say about that.
