On Cloud 9

"On Cloud 9" 

In the 1896 edition of the International Cloud Atlas, clouds were assigned numerical orders. The cumulonimbus cloud was assigned the number 9. It is the highest reaching cloud and rises up to 10km or 6.2 miles into the sky. Thus, being on top of it would mean that you are in a sense “on top of the world.” Source: theidioms.com

Another source says it is a US expression originated in the 1950's 

by the weather service about a fluffy cumulonimbus type cloud that is so attractive.

On Cloud 9:  a state of perfect happiness.

But underneath, where the storm clouds are.

Clouded Judgement:  to cause someone to be unable to think clearly.

Head in the Clouds:  to be absentminded or impractical.  Unaware of what's going on.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and a sound mind. 

                                                                                                                     2 Timothy 1:7

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

                                                                                                         2 Corinthians 10:5

So, the next time someone tries to cast a dark cloud on your day,

remind them that you walk in the high places, 

where your Weather Man says your forecast is fine on

 Cloud 9!
