Down Pour

Here Comes The Rain Again

It rained for a week,
then the gullywasher came

Hours of hard down pour;
in sheets it fell.
The streets were flooded, 
and water gushed from everywhere.
Cars were stranded,
while homes, became islands. 

The flash flood broke quick; 
it flowed through the yard.
and under the house.
Everything washed away,
and the cat freaked out.

The deluge was over,
as quick as it came.
Leaving ruin behind,
but the frogs just sang.

They sang,
and they sang,
all night long,
they sang.

The Coming Storm

The signs of the times Meteorologists warn us about coming storms. Whether it’s a freezing rain and snow or a summer tornado. Folks believe them. They stock up on bread and milk. They buy icy melt. They break out the snow gear and the shovels or flash lights. They check on family. They stay home…

Thanking God

We owe Him everything God gave us life. He gives us the things we need and the joys of this world. When we get saved and know Him, we see that He gives us so much more. We realize that everything comes from Him and all of it works together for our good. Our thankfulness…
