Thoughts and prayers

We have a drought.  A historical drought.  Since records are being taken, (a history, if you will) isn't ALL the weather historical?  I don't know.

Anyway.

People around here are praying for rain and snow.  People pray prayers of gratitude when we get rain or snow.  Me too. The governor has even asked us to pray.  (When you live in Utah, part of the governor's drought response can be to get people to pray and I am here for it!)

Here's the thing.

Inside recess.

I know rain and snow are definitely for the greater good.  We need that water.

But inside. Recess.

It is slowly sucking the life-force out of me.  

Maybe we can add strength, endurance, and patience for the teachers to those prayers....

The rain and snow we are getting are the remnants of the deluge California is getting.  Braeden and Anna keep losing power.  Braeden said he took an extra pair of pants to his office so he could change when he got there.  It was that wet.

They had church at a funeral home.  A member of their ward owns it and has generators.  Braeden said they only had sacrament meeting and afterward, everyone was going around and checking on each other.

People are pretty great, even when you get a lot of rain...or have inside recess.

My students in California have been telling me about their crazy rain. So far they still have power though. I hope Braeden & fam everything they need! (And you too, with that inside recess business!)
