The rains came down and the floods went up...

...but the house on the rock stood still.

A thought I had today:
These last couple of days have been cold and stormy, with unsuspected snow. But the snow will melt. The storm, though bitterly cold, will pass and the water gathering will bring and nourish new life.

Last week (09/30/09), the unexpected storms returned.
The sky’s rainy eyes wept as the thunder-shook emotions followed the lightning’s chaotic path.
Probably a testament to the fact that God hears me--I said bring on the rain and...it came. The pounding rain has tried to break me, drown me, but instead it will fill my vessel and deepen my soul. Though storms will crumple the ocean’s surface, the Father of my earth and soul resounds: “Be still, and know that I am God.”
