Weather!

We are having really crazy weather her right now. Over the week end we had a ton of rain!! I was going to post some pictures that Sis. Sondra took on my camera while I was driving on Saturday morning but I can't get them to download off the camera so maybe when Johnny gets home I will be able to. But anyway in some parts of Indiana not to far from us they got around 11 inches of rain. There is devastating floods here. We were trying to go to southern Indiana on Saturday morning for a graduation party and we turned around and came back home because the water was so high on both sides of the highway that we were sure that it was going to flood and we would be stuck down south so we came back home. And sure enough about 2 hours later they closed the highway. We were both praying before we left and when we got to a certain point we were both feeling uneasy so we came back home. Also another blessing is that the road just past our church building was flooded yesterday and all the yards around us but our church lot was completely water free and we were able to have church. There are brethren here that need prayer form other assembly's because they are in the counties that were hit the hardest. But as far as I know everyone is doing OK. Praise God!!! We are expecting more storms tonight and hopefully they won't be bad and add the the flooding problems.

Well I'm thinking that our weather has went your direction, cause we have had some CRAZY weather also. We had a flash flood on June 1st. It was crazy! I am pretty much sick of rain! HEHE. But... until we get our A/C fixed in our van, I don't mind it cooling off the air. LOL. Hopefully we will all have a good summer with not as much rain :)

I'm so thankful that the church house is dry and that you were able to have church. I was so worried about you all when I heard that there was so much rain there and so FAST! I'm so glad you turned around on that road and came home too, but sorry you missed the graduation party.

So glad that you didn't get stuck anywhere. I am sick of the rain and thunderstorms also. Ready for the sun to stay out awhile.

I'm thankful to hear your testimonies and that your family and the church were safe. We just got back from a trip to visit some brethren in Colorado and were hit with severe weather and golf-ball sized hail! (I've never seen hail bigger than a nickle before) We'll sure be praying for you all
