Wow, did it rain or did it rain … hard rain … just a little short of 2 inches yesterday at the Hester household (as of 5:30 PM) and about the same at the Curt Brown Airport, the official National Weather Station…
A 20% chance of rain today, increases to 40% tonight and 60% tomorrow (Wednesday). High today and tomorrow in the low to mid 70s and windy. High temp Friday in the low 50s.
Thought of folks working outside as the rain intensified yesterday … including the mail carriers. … The mail must be delivered, and it was, in our area.

Things God won’t ask:
He won’t ask what kind of car you drove. … He’ll ask how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation…
He won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet, he’ll ask how many you helped to clothe.
He won’t ask the square footage of your home, he’ll ask how many people you welcomed to your house.
He won’t ask what your highest salary was, he’ll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
