Rain

Praise God it has and is raining. We are in such a drought and I'm so grateful for the rain. I use to complain about rain when it inconvenienced me. But, several years ago, we had a drought similar to this one and I promised God to NEVER complain about rain again. We need water to live! Let it rain! Let it ruin my plans!

Also, the rain gives me a chance to use an expression that I don't often get to use and simply think is funny - "Man, it's a frog strangler out there." I think the saying comes from a movie - maybe from "Outlaw Josie Wales" or something like that. Simply means that it's raining really hard. And, indeed...it's a frog strangler out there today.
