The 'Fallen Sky' is Fixed!

I've been saying that the sky fell in our closet.  Well, it was pretty much a riot, but Lee fixed it.  I know that God must have been chuckling, at least; He was probably slapping His knee and laughing out loud at us.  We are a couple of old rickety people climbing around on ladders and dropping stuff.  I forget exactly what went wrong, but we needed a couple of pieces of wood to 'rig' it so we could finish.  Our neighbor (whose vicious beast we fed back in the summer) was up at 9:30, had the wood, and was willing to cut it to size for us!  See why I fed that beast of his?  I always owe him big time because he's such a great neighbor, so feeding the beast was the right thing to do.  Anyway, between Bill saving us and Lee's knowledge, skill and patience, he got it fixed.  I helped by rigging here and there.  Lee likes to do everything right, so I know the rigging was really foreign to him; he was a trooper, though.  We're going to keep on until that closet looks really good! We laughed and laughed as we worked through that project.  Now, he's fallen into bed.  I'm going to get a bath and fall into bed, too.  It's tomorrow, already, and it will soon be time to get up and go get Dorothy for church.

Since it's already Sunday and we've been chuckling with God all night I wanted to post this picture of the huge cross in Groom, TX.  We passed it coming home the other day and we were so tickled with the blue sky after all the rain we'd come through.  We knew we were getting close to home when we saw the blue skies.  That huge cross is awesome and sobering!

When I wrote to Bill (our neighbor) and told him we were rained out in Santa Fe and coming home a day early he wrote back that we should tie a rope around some of that rain and bring it home with us.  It hadn't rained the whole month that we were gone.  Well we got a shower yesterday and another one today. Maybe that bit of rain DID follow us home?  God is good and He provides what we need:  rain, strength, family, friends, neighbors . . . wow, the list is awesome and endless!
