"God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the rain shower, 'Be a mighty downpour.'

- Job 37:5-6

When it rains, it pours! It has rained today for at least eight hours and while we have a break right now there is more on the way throughout the evening. I decided to wear flip flops and capris today because there is no other way to deal with the "puddles" that may be up to a foot deep. As I walked home for lunch I was greeted by "Yellow Lake" which is normally the side yard at the Yellow House. My lovely home is the camper off to the right and getting in and out without getting very wet is a challenge on days like today. I have never seen it rain so hard for so long. There are flood warnings out all over the city and many roads are unpassable.

However, life is good and the rain is always a great reminder of God's cleansing. Our new group of teams is getting settled in and they worked hard all day in the rain. I spent today working with our communications person trying to iron out our roles and how we can best work together. We will be spending time the next few days talking to all our staff about their communications needs and I will be getting information to write updated bios for each of them.
