Shine Today

I really love thunder and lightening, i mean REALLY love it. I actually get bummed when the weather says "chance" and it passes me by. But this morning, i heard a soft rumble. so i stepped outside. Clouds covered the morning sky but i didn't see anything. and then, a flash. and a very soft rumble in the distance. and then another flash followed by a soft rumble. I stood in my front yard staring at the sky and a breeze picked up. I waited. Another flash. Something about the soft distant ruble, i don't even know how to explain it.

There was just so much peace. It was a great start to the day. Psalm 29:3, 7

Well, $6200+ later, my husband said no way. So now what. Well, this morning I called the shop to tell them I'll have it towed home. While waiting for the shop to let me know it's ready, I went ahead and placed an ad for sale on the web. Within 5 minutes max, someone called. Long story short, he bought it, as is. Hiss uncle is a mechanic. I loved that truck. It was sad to see it go. Then, I go and help my daughter look at a place for rent for her and her husband. As much as I don't want them to move out, I know they plan on more children and it's already crowded in our 3 bedroom 1...
