prayer request

Are you making vacation plans? If so, you are probably taking a look at common destinations like Las Vegas, Disneryworld, and California. These are typical choices because you have pretty good idea ahead of time of what you are getting yourself into. The only problem with chosing these vacation spots is that everyone else does as well. Therefore you will be spending your time in crowded areas.

While these are great places to spend your money and precious vacation time, do you really want to be fighting with the thousands of other people that flock to the area every day? Hotel accommodations are more expensive along with rental car costs and dining.

I am really worried. It has been so hot here in North Texas that everything is burning up. Our animals are in danger and we can't put enough water on the yard. We are in extreme need of rain. We were visiting with a farmer this evening who is "retiring". I never knew a farmer who retired without being forced...thus we made the assumption that this dry growing season was the straw the broke the camel's back ...or should I say the farmer's back. He was saying that they had cried a few tears but that he was so grateful that he was not having to worry about this drought any more. Those of you who have never farmed or ranched may not understand. It feels like we are under the wrathful hand of God. Death is looming. Tribulation has begun. Of course you try to reason that it is just el Nino or Nina, but it really does feel like you are under a curse. Farmers relate rain to God's blessing so I guess it follows that drought would be God's curse.
