It rained today. I don't think it's done that since the fourth of July.
And it waited until 7:00pm so I could finish my first soccer practice of the season.
No wonder people have historically been prone to try to get the attention of supernatural beings. It's rarely this good. There ought to be something we could do to make it this good more often.
Practice went well too.
I might be willing to do in the occasional chicken or turtle dove to experience such good times again. I'm pretty sure the chicken is better eatin'.
The point is, I feel a little funny saying, "Praise God for the rain," unless I'm willing to say "Praise God for the drought." Either I accept that he's in charge and is the definer of "good," the author of the test, the creator, sustainer and destroyer, or I only believe in a god who is smaller than I'm able to conceive.
Thank you, God, for the pleasures of today. Give me wisdom for the tests you set before me tomorrow.
