New Orleans Three

It has rained all day. Buckets and buckets. Torrents upon torrents. Is New Orleans really where you want to be when the rain won't stop?

Yesterday the center director kicked the VBS team out and said they could come back today. The team arrived to find the building locked up tight. They called to find out the reason. The director was getting on a plane and had forgotten to give someone the key to open the doors. Playing in the park really wasn't an option - due to the torrent upon torrents.

Riddle burned his hand with boiling water as he helped in the kitchen. They've taken him to the "Doc in the Box". It looked nasty.

Downstairs they are celebrating Feller's 18th birthday. The frosting Corinn made for his cookie cake has enough sugar in it to keep the whole group up all night. The guys already celebrated by taking his clothes while he was in the shower. With friends like that...

I am emotionally drained. The news about the Chapman family has weighed on my heart all day. My prayer is that God will give them a peace that passes understanding.

I Just Don't Understand

It has rained here in Plano ALL DAY LONG. Roads are flooding. Rescue missions are having to be done for people who choose to drive around barricades. It is still coming down. I don't like to be out in the rain. I like watching it, but I can't stand having it hit my skin. The commercial that sings "feel the rain on your skin" gives me the creeps.

My middle daughter loves to be in the rain. I don't know what is wrong with her. She didn't get that trait from me.

Since I hate being in the rain so much dinner was a "whatever is in the fridge and pantry" meal. I was not about to get out in that downpour.

I must say that I didn't like the pantry/frig combo this time. Sometimes it is a winner and I guess in a way it was. What drives me up the wall is that at least three of the occupants of this house liked the concoction. One of them is my pickiest eater. What is wrong with this boy's taste buds? He didn't get that trait from me.

Here are the ingredients of tonight's pantry/frig combo:
grits
hamburger meat
verde enchilada sauce
fajita seasoning
jack and cheddar cheese
mozzarella cheese
