Today we went to church to thank God for his blessings in the form of rain. It started raining here yesterday at 4 in the afternoon and came some good showers. My electronic rain gauge quit on me and I never could get out in the rain to look at my rain gauges. It quit raining at 9 as we left for church. This morning the one at the garage was leaning and was full. When we got back from church I looked and all three gauges are 5" gauges and were all running over, so over 6 inches is a good guess. Others at church reported 6 inches or more. I even had a little water running down the creek this morning. It had stopped when we got back but I am hoping it will keep running out of the hills. However the ground was so dry it absorbed most of the rain. But this is a great answer to our fervent prayers for the last several months.
I was devastated today to read that one of Lou's students at Levelland who came to her funeral died of cancer September 17. He had been in chemo since Lou's death. I thought he had beat it, but he had throat cancer and it kept coming back.
