About the "Unnecessary Invention" for February

I know it seemed a shallow overstatement, so I feel compelled to explain why I said Meteorologists are an "Unnecessary Invention".

First you need to know that I was not kidding.  Second you should know that I participate in making the weatherman "necessary", and I am the first to turn to the Weather Channel.  Third, maybe it is a bit of an overstatement, but just hear me out.

Most of the weather we can perceive, or be prepared for in advance just by knowing that it's winter and prone to ice, or summer and prone to hurricanes.  As Jesus said, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'It's going to rain,' and it does."

Maybe we need meteorologists the way that we need calculators today.  I think we have lost the art of interpreting the heavens, and are now dependent on something that is no more certain than who will win the Super Bowl.  Not to put down meteorologists, I think it's a fascinating field, just not accurate enough for us to be dependent.

Consider this:  You may see very destructive weather, but you don't see a massacre of animals as a result.  God has equipped them, and also us.  We've just grown insensitive to our environment.  And that's spiritual too brotha.
