Storms On The Prairie

-


Posted by PicasaAs I write this, the storm is coming. The winds are very strong, and are bitter cold. Just awhile ago it was warm. I can't believe the temperature change! The rain is now starting. In case we get blown away, I wanted you to see the pictures I got of it, right before it hit! :o)

I have been talking a lot about storms, I guess because we have had so many today. So many times, nature reminds me of the spiritual things of God. Start paying attention to nature, and you will see His hand. God speaks to us through nature, if we just listen.

I have never been frightened of storms, even as a child. For some reason, hearing the thunder soothes me, only because it has always been a reminder to me of God. The reason for this, when I was a little girl, I asked my Mom what the thunder was. She told me that it was God bowling in heaven, and every time he got a strike...thunder. That little story stuck with me. To this day, I wait for the strikes:)

Isn't that amazing? Seems like things like that do run in families. I saw on my sisters blog, that she and my other brother like old movies. I do too! Does your fellow like them too? Do you? Honestly, I would rather see a black and white movie anyday. I don't like the war and cowboy ones, though.

The Evil Pencil Cactus

My daughter Kimberly, my husband, and I went to Prairie Gardens a few months ago. We loved going through all the different tents full of flowers! My daughter and her husband just bought a new home, which is contemporary. We were looking for inside plants that would look good in her home. We came across an unusual plant she nor I had ever seen! It had "contemporary" written all over it! It was called a "Pencil Cactus". She and I fell in love with it! When we showed it to my husband, he turned up his nose at it and exclaimed, "You're not buying that thing are you?" My daughter and I said "why not?" He told us it was an evil looking plant! Hmmm , never heard of an evil plant before! His words resounded in my head days later. I helped my daughter load the plant in the cart, as it was about 3-4 foot tall, and it's pencils very slender. We didn't want to break it! As we put it in the cart, I noticed a sticky milky substance all over my han...

News media taking pictures, and interviewing people. Firemen on top of church next door, spraying the Inn with hoses of water. In this picture, you can see the whole back of the Inn is missing. If you look closely, that's the rear half of the roof slanting downward.
