We have been praying for rain for all of Texas and the drought-stricken West. Yesterday it started raining and looking at the weather on the TV it looked again like one of the random showers. Then an hour later it started raining a second time and we were ecstatic. Then all night it thundered, lightninged and rained and continued all morning for a total of 3.5" of rain here. The rain washed the caliche road somewhat. We also had a lot of high wind that knocked down a lot of my dead limbs in trees. The cottonwood trees both had large dead branches removed. The radio reported that it was raining in the metroplex and everywhere in between. We knew that God was in charge of rain, not the meteorologists. We had been reading Job where God told him that he was the One who was in charge of rain, hail and lightning.
Gov. Perry also had a prayer service asking God to bring rain and to heal our country and we see some response. Perry announced a run for president today and I supported him because I think Texas is always better off when we have a president in office. It will be an interesting campaign.
Nancy has been working hard refinishing our wood floor. She cleaned and then got on hands and knees to apply paste wax. She brought her buffer from Granbury. I hope she isn't too stiff tomorrow. Our SS class is still in Psalms and Psalm 88 is a real downer. But 139 is a refreshing Psalm.
