Rain

So, we've had a LOT of rain. The quantity and the manner in which it has fallen has been disasterous for some (many), and, on a less important scale, just plain inconvenient for the rest of us. Just about the time we plan to mow the yard...it rains. We have an outdoor event planned...it rains.

You can call me crazy, but here's my theory:

Last year we had no rain and a lot of wildfires. As we all know, wildfires are nature's way of cleansing the earth and starting over. Now, in the west coast region, they had a ton of rain last year.

This year, we have a ton of rain and the west coast is burning up.

Bare with me...I'm getting there...

So, this is what I think about the rain. Don't whine, gripe, moan, complain - no matter how inconvenient or frustrating. I think all this rain is God's way of, again, cleansing - and COOLING - the earth. This much rain has surely cleaned some of the junk out of the air and has definitely cooled things off. (When was the last time you recall having 80 degree temperatures at 3:00 in the afternoon in July?) And all the rain has definitely cut back on a lot of activities that cause pollutants in the air, which said pollutants are causing global warming. God has His way of cleaning us up for the time being, and teaching us some lessons. ("Hey, I gave you this land you farm for ME to honor ME so I can bless YOU, you better take care of it or either it burns or floods...or the earth combusts and you're out of luck!)

I have NO IDEA if this made any sense to anyone but me...it's just some thoughts I have on the issue.
