Hooray for the underdogs?

Here’s a tiny bit from the prophet Zephaniah in Sunday’s Lectionary“And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth.” Who are the lame and the outcast? Maybe it is the whole, small, beleaguered nation. Maybe it could also be individual people. Does it matter? Maybe not, because I can believe that God cares about the outsiders and those who are weak in whatever context.

Today was a day of cumulonimbus capillatus incus. Except maybe the capillatus incus bits were often more like candyfloss hair (non-pink of course) than anvils. Also they didn’t go very high – it was freezing quite near the ground. So just cumulonimbus capillatus maybe.
