Well, you say "this kind of weather," like freak weather maybe, which is what I initially read and responded to, but it is tornado alley? I mean, tornadoes and hail are natural events there. I'm pretty sure God is in control (of the weather), and we're told that He uses it, or seems to at times, either for retribution or blessing; although I see God taking responsibility directly for things that turn out to be what we might call "Mother nature," or natural, in other instances, and suspect that that is the meaning at most of these.

I read "I send the rain" or "I send the hail" more as like "I set the weather in motion." Plenty of indications that humans can affect the weather, though, either by faith, for relief; or actions, usually portrayed as "for bad?"

Don't know of any weather attributed to satan, per se.
Nice font, btw, much more readable...searching...
well dang, you'd think "edit options" or the top of this dialog box, hmm.
Oh, "advanced" wherein I have managed to make mine look retarded, lol. Hey, "Century Gothic" sure sounds dark, lol.

Re: Tornado's In DFW Area, Please Pray

There is good, and there is evil in this world. "I have set before you life and death, ...choose life..."

God has set the content of this world for His ultimate purposes, human attitudes and actions do seem to influence particular results at times. It seems that we can "allow" evil to dominate with our attitudes, sin, lack of faith, etc. However, there is so much that just that seems to be totally random, common forces at work???

Fact is, we really don't know, so the three "C" should be invoked: I didn't cause it, I can't control it, and I can't cure it!! So, I just put my trust in the living God, knowing that the nature of this life is good and evil, I must run my course, serve my generation and then I can die in peace. And after that, ALL THINGS ARE NEW!!!!!

Wow. Fantastic shot of a tornado!
Never seen one close up. I probably would not be able to move if I did because I would be so fascinated by the awesome power of it roaring through.

That's not saying I want to though.
