English Weather

9:00 AM. Pouring rain.
9:30. Sunny and not raining. (It's not unusual for it to be sunny and raining at the same time, so that's why I specified.)
10:15. I leave to walk to church. Raining very lightly, but enough to warrant a raincoat. (It nearly always is windy when it rains, so I don't usually bother with an umbrella.)
10:25. Still walking. Rain turns to hail. Small pellets, but coming down hard and fast.
10:30. Arrive at church. Hail stops.
Halfway through the service I look out the window and see that it has now become sunny and dry again, with all the appearance of a nice spring day.
12:00. I was afraid that as soon as I stepped outside it would start to rain again. That didn't happen, but the wind had picked up and my damp coat made it quite a chilly walk home.

  1. Wow. That's laughably erratic.

  2. Hello from Bruce and Barbara Hoag. We sure miss you here in Sherman, but we are so glad that you are doing well and have decided to continue working with Lifehope and OM. We had the annual women's brunch last Sunday and Amanda made beautiful flower arrangements for the tables. She seems quite excited about her trip to Egypt. We are all very proud of you and your contribution to the teaching of Christ's message. God has certainly put you in a special place and we are happy to know that you are feeling His presence.
