Bring The Rain

It has rained much over the past week and I can't help but think of daddy everytime I hear a raindrop hit the tin roof on our front porch. Because of his invention, "Float Booster", and the theory behind it, he was very involved in the weather patterns around the country for the last year of his life. Each time we would talk he would always ask me if we had experienced any rain and what the level was of Lake Lanier. The areas with the highest drought conditions were the areas he targeted to get info to on the "Float Booster" and how such a simple device could save them thousands and thousands of gallons of water.
My sisters are both out of the country for the week ahead and I pray safe travel for both of them and lots of fun. Susan, the oldest, and her husband are in New Zealand. Mary Grey, my little sister, and her husband are in Hawaii. The best Debbie and I can do at the present is just be with each other...and that is plenty for me. We'll go to the beach in July with the whole family and I'm just now in the planning stages for our annual September cruise. Neither will come soon enough.
In finishing today, I'd ask you say a prayer right now for two people. The mother of one of my associates is in the hospital with some lung and breathing issues, so I'd ask that you pray for my friend, Mark, and his mom, Mrs. Dix. Also, there is a 4 month old baby that Stacey has asked prayer for and his name is Stellan. We don't know Stellan or his parents, but I have read his mom's blog and little Stellan has a very serious heart defect. He is currently in the hospital and the doctors are fighting to get his heart in a steady rhythmn. Please pray for Stellan and Mrs. Dix.
