Well, Ground Hog Day does not have the luster and excitement to it in Alaska as it does in other parts of the United States. I was reminded by a friend that is because we have eagles, bears,and wolves that would eat this little furry rodent!
Yes, poor Punxsutawany Phil would have a hard time surviving up here in the Last Frontier.
Ground Hog Day was a day my wife decided to make it into a celebration for the kids one year awhile back. Cheeseburgers (ground meat for Ground Hog Day), root-beer floats, and yes, brown colored noses to match that rascally weather forecaster!
(Don't believe me, see the photo below!)
You can go on line and see how poorly his weather prediction abilities stack up. His predictions are pretty much a miss most of the time. Poor Punxsutawney Phil will most of the time simply slip back into his house, fearful of his shadow or the thousands who show up to party in this little town in PA.
My Anchorage ramblings are pretty simple this time.
I have to say I am really glad that when Jesus came out of the tomb, he did not go back in. When he came out of the tomb is was good news for all people in all places.
That the predictions from the Old Testament that pointed to Jesus were right on the nose! (yes-it is a pun!!! Did you expect anything less from a pastor!!)
Happy Ground Hog's Day!
until next time...
Blessings and be safe!
Pastor Andy
