Faith and the Dust Bowl
It was a picture perfect day. A day for picnics and tending to gardens. A day to visit relatives or if it was Sunday, attending church. Out of nowhere, the air turns cold. Suddenly the sky is teaming with birds knowning danger is imminent. Over the horizon, a black strip appears and within moments the entire world is engulfed in a wall of dust. But it’s not the entire world, it’s simply just another day living in the Dust Bowl.
In Leap of Faith, the town of Sweetwater, Kansas is suffering from a devastating drought. It hasn’t rained for months. Crops are withering, animals are dying and its citizens are moving away in desperation. The situation is reminiscent to what people of a region of the United States known as the Dust Bowl, experienced during the early part of the 20th Century.
Drought had been an ongoing problem at different times throughout American history, but never as much as in the 1930s across America’s Plains. This great expanse of land would be deemed, the Dust Bowl.
