Forgive Me
I was watching the national weather and it occured to me that I should be truly grateful for the blessings I enjoy. I have whined about the weather being too hot, too dry too long (which it has been).
But when the meteorologist pointed out that it had been over 100 degrees for 36 straight days, with more predicted to come, in Dallas and environs, I thought about the fact that many people live with much less pleasant circumstances than we have here. Tuesday's 115 was really over the top.
Oh, Lord forgive me when I whine. I am so blessed. The world is mine.

Rain!
Around four o'clock this morning, I heard rumblings of thunder in the far distance. Closer came the noises, now visible the flashes of lightning. At 4:25 the sky burst open, and the refreshing waters fell! It rained for half-hour.
Thank you, Lord, for the showers.
I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. --Ezekial 34:26
Snarkiness is placed in abeyance this morning as I offer this prayer of gratitude for the rain!

Farewell, July...
...we hardly knew ye.
(Because you kept us holed up inside the house, your miserable "heat indices" being too high to brave. Our camping was scratched, our discontent grew. You are the driest July in the annals of meteorological record keeping. You have left us, parched, brown, and miserable. Thanks.)

Breaking News
States cut programs to help poor cool their homes (front page headline)
Oh, that's wonderful! State governments are cutting other programs to make it a priority to assist the poor during this heat wave.
No, that is not what it means.
"SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP)--
Many states hit hardest by the week's searing heat wave have drastically cut or entirely eliminated programs that help poor people pay their electric bills, forcing thousands to go without air conditioning when they need it most."
...and so on.
Oh, I see.

Do You Think?
Heard on WTHR Channel 13 Eyewitness News at Noon
Scott Swan: We are under an excessive heat warning. What does that mean?
Chikage Windler, aka Weather Girl: An excessive heat warning means "Complaining is allowed."
Chikage. Really.
