The Day Isaac Came to Missouri

As I type this, it has been raining for nearly 16 hours. The rain fell and fell and fell and, with any luck, it will continue well into tomorrow. It has rained so much I need to vacuum the water that is pooling up outside my bedroom. 

I haven't heard one complaint. 

I can't remember a time that everyone has been so incredibly ecstatic for water to be falling from the sky. Maybe... Just maybe... The grass will rise from the grave. Maybe the trees will come back from the brink of death. Maybe our well will fill up, and I'll be able to take a shower with actual water pressure instead of the trickle I've been using for the last month.

My fingers are crossed. Rain is amazing. It just goes to show that one man's life-threatening event can be another's savior.

Thanks, Isaac.
