Currently Thinking/Feeling - My thoughts and prayers are with all of the people in Texas and Louisiana as they struggle with the over abundance of rain.  I cannot imagine all that they are going through.  I feel sad and frustrated that there is nothing we can do we stop the rain.

Needless to say, we are enjoying spending time on the porch. My little corner to read, crochet and talk with God.
