I thought you liked rain!

I do -- but it has to be the nice, cool, dry Great Pacific Northwest kind of rain, not the wet, sloppy, everything's dripping Eastern rain.

Well, okay, I'm half-kidding about the "dry." But this was a warm rain, the kind that creates muggy weather. I'm sure folks back East would laugh, in that what we have right now would be considered near-pleasant. It's the kind of temperature and humidity that as long as you're in a breeze it's okay; when the breeze stops -- ugh.

Went to pull out and test the camping gear in the garage when we got home. After 20 minutes I was soaked.

(Then discovered we had no Internet connection. After a few tests decided it was the DSL provider's side. Called, and sure enough -- in 2(?) years the first outage not caused by regional power blackouts. Got on through the cellphone and rediscovered why I don't like big photos.)

LOL! Then just show us the small ones!!

I had a raging migraine earlier, so I went to bed and slept for two hours. I couldn't read, couldn't watch TV and darn sure couldn't FReep!

I know what you mean about the "wet" and the "dry" rain. Here, we'll get storms that may last off and on for most of a day or two, but the humidity is still in the 30's. ;o])

I hope you get appropriately Northwestern weather for your camping trip.

Hi guys. Tomorrow starts Vacation Bible School and if you’ve never been you can hardly imagine what a 3-ring circus it can be. I probably won’t be up for reveille in the morning as I am taking a day-off from my day job to be ready for the evening kickoff of VBS. We’re mostly ready for 150 or so kids, but I would appreciate any spare prayers you have on hand.

Lights out as I need to rest up after an unusually busy Sunday. I had the MC gig at first service which involves a couple mini sermons and some praying. It went so well (thanking God) that I got asked to do second service as well. That plus regular duties plus required appearances at two afternoon gatherings (the bane of a pastor’s waistline) and I have had just about enough fun for one day.

So... goodnight.
