Ya know, as I was watching news tonight (crazy US wildfires, constant hurricanes (They've already gone through the alphabet and shifted to the Greek in mid Sept. Sept used to be the start of the season 20 yrs ago!), virus/vaccine insanity, 5 week early voting lines for this election, etc), I said a little prayer, asking God 'when will people wake up and realize and turn to Him and acknowledge Him?' I instantly got the response, "When I come again." Yup
My sons apt. Complex. That hurricane Sally was really something. Still no power but linemen have arrived from Minnesota . . .
Another powerful testimony from Jim Caviezel: Jim Caviezel On FOX and Friends Weekend -- What a Powerful Witness of Faith https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=120&v=fz07-JZuJC4&feature=emb_title
Mary's child, We're in the same boat. We've had a very, very dry summer. Our dug well is 20' deep in spring, but water table is so low. The three of us have taken steps the last 6 weeks to limit water use such as short showers and less frequent toilet flushing. It is frustrating to look at the extended forecast, see predicted rain, and then it never comes to pass! One of the best decisions we made 10 years ago was to buy a front-loading washing machine. It uses half the water a top-loader does. Always trust in God. We had our first killing frost this morning, heavier than the forecast predicted. The lettuce survived, but the tomato plants didn't survive. But then, we've been swamped with tomatoes prior. What a year we've had: raspberries, blackberries, apples, Niagara grapes, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, and rhubarb. We might have to go out and get more jars for canning, plenty of lids. Safe in the Providence of God.
We've had a marvelous garden too. But we too are being careful with water. And yes clouds appear and rain is predicted but nothing happens.
Haven't heard of injuries from the apt. But there have been two deaths in the county. One by a falling tree. Power is still out, been out since Tues. But did have a contractor here today who fixed the roof! Will see how things are at church tomorrow . . .
Electric is back today! Here is a picture of a neighbor's tree, it is upside down! Three houses up the road . . .
Part of me is sad, not so much for the loss of the trees, but that the trees, which COULD be turned into firewood, will most likely be disposed of in a landfill instead of being cut into fireplace-sized pieces.
