The Rain

It's raining this morning and I love it. I know sometimes people dislike the rain and it does sometimes wreak havoc with our plans. I love the smell of rain. I love the metaphoric "washing away" that the rain is responsible for. I enjoy the sounds of cars on the wet pavement on Main Street outside my office window. It's soothing and reminds me of a wave at the beach. I know the Earth is being replenished with water and I notice the balance of the Earth and the intelligence of God to create such a wonderful system of life.
