Arkansas has strange rain patterns. It comes in waves, comes down in buckets-full, thunders and lightenings, clears up for a while, even with bright sunshine, and then does the same things again and again, and sometimes again. Right now we are in the second again.
You'll notice that we are in Rogers, AR which is a pleasant 37 mile ride from Eureka Springs. Once again we are behind a repair shop with a list of needs for the motor home and our tow vehicle. Karen came back from Colorado with a new 2008 Saturn Vue which is being outfitted for towing when we set out from Eureka Springs to our next "wherever". We also have a list of repairs to the motor home including a leak (here we go again) in our ice-maker line which cropped up last night at about 11:30pm and caused our refrigerator to stop working. Wrong time, but right place for the needed fix. God has a way of putting us where we need to be when "things" happen. This morning I wrote in my journal, " the leaks and other issues are for our good and in the end are the weakness of man's things made into strength for Your things which will last." It made sense to me when I wrote it three hours ago and I hope it make sense to you as you read it and apply it to the "leaks and other issues" you face in life.
The rain keeps coming down, the thunder rolls and the weather radar shows us right in the middle of a yellow, green and blue blob with a few smatterings of red north and south of us. Looks like a Picasso painting but outside our windows it just looks gray. We'll be in Rogers a few days, but today we will not be getting out very much as they work on the car, and we will make periodic checks of the Searcy leak repair which seems to be bearing up well in this storm. God is Good and while He doesn't always tell us the reason, He does have a plan and purpose when it rains........Thank You Lord. We press on In Your Grace.
