A lot of us here in Northern Colorado were wishing for show before Christmas. It didn’t happen.

Then, a lot of us were wishing for a white Christmas. It didn’t happen.

Then, a lot of us were wishing for at least some snow before December ended.

That happened. And these tornadoes were generated as a result of the same storm system.

Certainly wishing didn’t make any of that tragic stuff happen. But, when things are in your control, how far ahead do you project the consequences of those actions – and are you sure those projections are accurate?

We can’t live in fear of the future. But we do have to own the consequences of our actions when we get there.
