Well, these pictures don't even come close to capturing how amazing the sky looked on this night. One, it's a camera phone (hint hint) and two, I was driving! So, take it easy because I'm still working on my photographic skills! Hope you enjoy our Creator!

What?!?! It's Raining?!?!


Yep, it's true. It is raining AGAIN! It wouldn't be a big deal but there is some serious flooding going on and I am no "flood-ologist" but, more rain only means more river water. Pray for those who this really effects!

I am thinking about driving around a bit today and taking a look at those rivers. It is amazing and scary to drive over a massive, moving body of water like that when it is only a few feet from the road. It's kind of like chasing tornadoes, which I do in my spare time! Talk about a rush!

Last night I brought the taste of Carrabba's into my own home. Yep, chicken parmesan with fettuccine alfredo! Get this! NO RECIPE! Somehow, I managed to pull it off with common sense. I'm not going to lie, it was GOOD! If you guys don't believe me, then I'll cook it for you and that's a promise!

Hopefully, I can get some pics of the things I see today. On my way to church I took some awesome pics of the sunset but they're on my phone and I'm having a bit of trouble getting them to my computer so we'll see.

Fall in love with the Savior!

Sunshine!!!

(Singing) "I can see clearly now the rain is gone"...wait! Yep, there's more rain! Oh, and I'm seeing more clearly because of my new contacts! Yeah!

Foggy Fogs, alot!!!

It has been raining CONSTANTLY! I mean, I appreciate the rain because I know we need it but, seriously, it's been two weeks! It's all good though! Thankfully, there hasn't been any crazy flooding in this area that I'm aware of (although, the rivers are rising!!!). Anyway, one serious side effect of tons of rain and cool temperatures is FOG! I don't really mind fog except when it is as thick as gravy and I have an hour and a half drive home from church. I normally don't mind to drive but I do have to say I was a little worried last night. With God's grace, I made it home safely and even had one person check on my safety. Thanks! It's good to know one person cares.

It got me thinking...

A great phenomenon of driving in the fog is that you can actually see better with your lights on dim rather than bright. I know, it's unbelievable! Trust me. I tried it all the way home. Brights on, brights off, brights on, brights off, etc. It's very difficult to see in the fog. Cars are barely visible. Intersections sneak up on you. The scenery disappears. It's pretty much just the fog and you.

Sin is like fog. It clouds our vision and judgment. Circumstances that could trip us up and cause us to crash become less visible. The difference between black and white becomes more and more gray. Decisions and choices in life take us by surprise and often lead us into making the wrong decisions. The beauty of God disappears and we completely lose sight of the glory of God.

Don't let this happen to you. Allow the true light of God to come in to your life and take the darkness of sin away. Much like the sun burns away even the thickest and darkest patches of fog!

Everyone (all two of you who read this!), have an awesome day!
