I sure am glad that Noah went through the earth-covering drench and floods instead of me.

Still, some days here it seems like God is going for another flood.....

But God keeps His promises.

He has set the rainbow in the sky to remind us

that He will never flood the entire earth again....

c.1922 'After The Rain Song'

I think I'll go outside and look for one today!!

Just to make sure He hasn't changed His mind!!!

c.1919 'After the Shower'

Which is, of course, pure silliness.

God doesn't change His mind!

I know that other places around the globe have received scads more rain than we have here in the Rocky Mountains and foothills, in the form of

hurricanes and floods and tornadoes

and all sorts of weather-nasties that bring

 bucket-loads of water.

c.1908 'Any Old Port in a Storm'

However,

whenever things happen to yourself 

or your friend down the street

it seems so much more immediate, more real

doesn't it?

My heart goes out to the many many people

that have lost their homes, and loved ones.

it is a precious gift.
Comparable to a state of grace."
