Praying for Rain?

Friday morning 5AM Feb. 20, 2009

Ok, Lord, I knocked out a rosary and it wasn’t too painful. Perhaps I even got most of it right. I don’t know why I have such a hard time with that. Maybe, it is trying to concentrate for more than ten consecutive minutes. Anyway, Lord, I was thinking as I pedaled my bike down here…we need rain…at lest everyone says so. But I am enjoying the cold dry air with the unrestricted visibility on these wonderfully fresh winter mornings. I could see the toenail shape of the moon just above the eastern horizon and realized that it was its own shadow that hides the largest part of the moon. Only the reflection of the sun off its trailing edge was visible. It was as if the sun was chasing the moon with a big flashlight. I couldn’t help but contemplate the geometry involved to make such a wonderful sight. No wonder those guys like Galileo were so intrigued by your marvelous creations.

I don’t want to buck the system...I know lots of folks are praying for rain and I’m ok with that…but I do thank You for the dry too. And I just want you to know I am enjoying every dropless moment. Have a great day God.
Amen.
