It's Raining...It's pouring...

Let me just say for the record that My hair was perfectly straight when I walked out of my house this morning, but due to dogs getting away in the rain, having to unload huge amounts of luggage from my car- in the rain and walking all over the place outside - in the rain... I now look like poodle! Not my best look, I must say. However, Despite my hair casualties, it is a truely beautiful day. I love the rain. (I prefer to be on a porch looking out into it, and not actually in it myself... but I'll take it both ways!) I am thinking I must take advantage of the opportunity and take a nap at some point during these storms. (This is where having a trailer with a metal roof actually comes in handy!) The sound of rain hitting that roof in very hard to ignore.

Beauty

My internet is down and I am at the library so this post won't be too long!

I don't know if anyone else happened to look up at the moon last night around 10 or so, but it was truely beautiful. A complete rainbow circled it like a ring. (Rainbows are always in complete circles but we usually only see on part of the circle.) The rainbow wasn't as bright because it was reflecting the moons rays, rather than the suns, But it was still one of those things that you look at and words just can't descibe it. I don't understand how people can look at something like that and not believe in God. I am so unworthy to be given things so beautiful. It was like God said, "Here, be happy" It worked for me anyway. Anyway... I hope everyone got to see it.

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good... Genesis 1:31a http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Gen/Gen001.html#1
