“The stormy March is come at last, With wind, and cloud, and changing skies; I hear the rushing of the blast, That through the snowy valley flies.” WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT. Swaying branches and swirling smoke betray the invisible force of March winds. Not insignificant is the effect of winds on we
Wind is a personal agent of God. This explains why Scripture virtually identifies wind with angels.

We have learned that the power available is proportional to the cube of wind speed. Thus, if wind speeds dou
It lay in a deep basin surrounded by hills which, particularly on the western side, were intersected by narrow gorges. Through those gorges the wind would sometimes sweep toward the sea, raising the waters very quickly into a violent storm. The fishermen were therefore not immediately alarmed when,
The winds die down, a hard coldness settles in, the naked trees begin to pop and creak, bright moonlight spills across the white sparkling blanket of snow. From inside the warm house the furnace labors to keep out the probing fingers of the bitter cold. Somewhere between the outside and inside windo
