Rainstorm Following Three Inch Deluge


We recently had a three-inch deluge which left the backyard a lake overnight. The squirrels and birds fought over stale crackers yesterday - a real war. They must have known about the next storm, which built up slowly today. Sassy and I walked in the early morning, with hardly any rain.

Next, she definitely wanted to go along on the trip to the post office. Any suggestion of a trip always energizes her. If it ends with some food, that is even better. The rainstorm grew gradually as we headed to the post office and Mcdonalds.

It is fun to distribute books. Recently the Lutheran Librarian sent 8 Bibles to us for distribution. They were given away locally and by mail. Next, PFC gave me a large, heavy box full of Christian books, including a $100 Bible, and they began to be shared.

When I was reading magazines on collecting books, an author wrote, "Breaking up a collection is good, because rare titles are given a new audience." 

I think of Biblical books and Bibles as only potentially good if they are stored, but powerful when read and enjoyed by another population.
