Good evening, radu...is it still really hot and dry?
It seemed smoky this morning...my eyes and nose running isn’t much fun trying to work.
Now it seems more like rain clouds, but wouldn’t that be a shock?

Howdy, Kathy.
Any chance of catching your breath and getting to bed at a decent time tonight?
Lookin’ pretty smoky up there today. The Chugachs are really hazy and Mt. Susitna doesn’t exist. :-(

Yes, it VERY hot and still dry. A line of rain moved in this afternoon but fell apart just as it got close to us. Then it built back up again after it passed. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! The only benefit we got was the clouds dropping the temp a bit.
There’s a rain system slowly making its way towards Anchorage. With luck, it’ll hold together and give y’all some rain in a day or so.

Hurry Up and Wait
Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
Psalm 27:14“What will we do with all our spare time?” That thought was at the heart of an essay published in 1930 by the economist John Maynard Keynes. In it, Keynes proposed that within a hundred years, technological and economic advances would bring humans to a point where we would work only three hours a day and fifteen hours a week.
It’s been more than ninety years since Keynes published his famous essay. But technology, instead of creating more leisure, has made us busier than ever. Our days are full, and while everyday tasks like travel and meal preparation take less time, we’re still in a hurry.
One striking incident from David’s life shows us how to stay steady in life’s rush. When he was fleeing King Saul (who was trying to kill him), he asked the king of Moab, “Would you let my father and mother come and stay with you until I learn what God will do for me?” (1 Samuel 22:3, italics added). David had his hands full. He was trying to escape Saul’s murderous pursuits and also provide for his family. But even in his hurry, he took the time to wait on God.
When life’s frenetic pace sweeps us along, we can trust the One who can keep us in His peace (Isaiah 26:3). David’s words sum up the matter well: “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” (Psalm 27:14).
Reflect & Pray
In what ways can you wait on God even when life’s busy? Where do you need His help to trust Him today?
You are my calm in every rush, Father. Thank You for giving me Your peace as I continue to trust You.

What little clearing we had is gone and i’m smelling smoke again...and seeing smoke rolling in. Multiple new lightning fires every day.
I REALLY don’t want to close all the windows again. *sigh*
Early bed is #1 on my list.
