In our neck of the woods, for those far a flung here and abroad, we had a bit of rain, .14 with some traces since early this morning, which did a good job of spotting the car windows.  It also cooled us down a bit.

Coming out of the Water’s Edge facility I found that the north wind doth blow, and it is a bit chilly. 

Haven’t heard how it has affected the fires, but I am sure it isn’t hurting in that regard.  Freeway to Portland area is open, but back roads have to be taken to get back home.

Storm clouds are hovering so we should get the rest of what has been ‘promised’ sometime this evening/overnight.

Getting’ along okay, shoulder still bothers me, but working with it.  Finish up some of my rehab program this week and starting a less supervised program the end of the week. 

Hopefully will be doing somewhat better.

Philippians 4:4 KJV  "Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice”

This is one of the hardest things to do when the world seems to be coming down on us, but the focus shouldn’t be on us, but on Him.

When we understand that, understanding He really is with us always – no matter the problem – our soul and spirit and even our mind can be rejuvenated, we may hurt emotionally or physically, but thanking Him, praising Him, worshiping Him really does help with our attitude.

Nope, not easy.  And I can’t say I have always followed this advice, but when I have, I feel better and the problem doesn’t look anywhere near as bad as it did just before.
