I am surprised some of us Christians have not been ordered to build one.

I live (retired here 3 years ago from Dallas) in a very small rural area. Last year our 4 little churches got together as a community and held prayers to break the drought that had plauged us with fires for 3 years in a row. We have volunteer fire depts in these little towns and they were overwhelmed, both with the cost of keeping the equipment in running order and finding the man power needed.

My funny for this month has been that God has just now got around to his in-box for Texas/Okla and each prayer is being answered in the order it came....

2005 and 2006 total rain fall was about 25 inches for the years combined. So far we have had about 27 inches and most of it has fallen in the last 6 weeks. It is unheard of here for temps to be under 95 this time of year. Record making high temps in this area of low 80s this year. sunny and 80s right now. It has rained at least some everyday for 6 weeks. Weather shows more of the same for next 7 days. We are waterlogged and when it stops for a few hours it is so humid and mosquito infested you can barely get out. I live in the country on acreage and I love to be outside in my gardens.
