  Don't believe the weather pixie, who says it is a comfortable 75. She lies. The porch thermometer reads a sweltering 85 and everything is wilting in the face of the humidity.
The dogs, Scooby and Abby, are stretched out flat, tongues lolling in the attempt to keep cool. I sprayed them (and the rabbits who get heat stroke easily) down with the hose, but it's only a temporary relief.
I am wondering if I can get someone to hose me down? I am having to water the plants twice a day to keep them from curling up and dying. This has been our weather for several days now. We are long overdue for a thunder storm and I expect it will be quite severe when it finally does hit. One thing I do have to continue from the old blog is this: 40 Days of Purpose Day 14: When God Seems Distant It's normal to have times during our friendship with God when we can't feel his presence. He sometimes withdraws from us to see how we handle it. It helps us grow. How do we praise God when he is silent? -by telling him exactly how we feel. -by focusing on who he is (particularly his unchanging nature).
-by trusting him to keep his promises. -by remembering what he's already done for us. Question to Consider: How can I stay focused on God's presence, especially when he feels distant? By doing the same things I would do with a friend or spouse who is distant. -make a point of talking to him, telling him about everything (prayer) -thinking about him, what I know about him, finding out more about him -trusting him -remember what he's done for me, his past behavior
