We had a thunderstorm last night. As we prayed before bed midst the flicker of our lights, we asked God to keep the power on so we would have air conditioning through the night. It was muggy and over 100 degrees yesterday with nearly 110 degree heat index. No air conditioning could have made for a long, restless night. At 2:45 a.m. we lost power but it was back on again within an hour. God's grace was sufficient for our needs.
This morning, as we surveyed the yard, we saw what the wind had done. A very large limb had broken and fallen across the steel cable and power line coming into the house. It's miraculous that we have power at all!
Roof damage from the stress of the limb:
In other news, Jake wants everyone to know that he hates thunderstorms! They're loud and cause him to seek shelter in his dogloo kennel. He also wants ya'll to know that he loves to find frogs in his water trough. He has the best time chasing them all over the trough. Then when he eventually captures one, he carries it to the yard where he plays with it. Some of you are probably feeling sorry for the poor little frogs. But Jake wants to remind you that these "poor little frogs" make the decision to hop into his water trough. They are taking their chances. We are wondering when we'll discover a snake in his water trough. Won't be so funny then!

WOW!! That was some wind. Glad you are all ok. I see your Durango parked in the driveway and what a blessing that limb didn't fall the other way. God is good..heard you guys were having a heat wave. Hang in there. Temps should be getting cooler soon.
Oh, everyone likes frog legs right??? With ranch dressing right???
No kidding about the limb not falling on our vehicle or on the house! We also learned that the limb must have fallen about the time we were praying before bed. Our neighbor next door said it fell between 9 and 10, probably as our lights were flickering. It shows God's grace even more to think of His provision for power (and air conditioning) through it all!
Uh. . .frog legs? Jake sure doesn't seem to like them raw with or without ranch! :)
