It's the rain again!

Yes the rain is here to stay, the farmers are happy, and I am enjoying the cooler weather. The rain as we've seen has been
a real great lesson in many ways. A nice parable. But now it brings a challenge, an obstacle I find very frustrating, yet
something that has been simply always dealt with. The rain keeps people inside! Why is that bad, because it means if there
is a prayer meeting, pathfinder get together, bible study, whatever, people do not come. Most church members are pretty
good at not skipping Sabbath mornings services, but otherwise rain can put a damper on everything (pardon the pun). One local
friend said that the rain will stop everything but work. If people need to go to work to make money, they will be out there,
whether it's a huge storm, nuclear disaster, hurricane, whatever (okay the nuclear and hurricane are unlikely). But other activities
can be put aside. Sure it is tough here, no one really has cars (that I have to meet with anyway), so going out in driving rain
can be a soaking experience. Yet you can use a rain coat. For now I am simply just going with the flow. I suppose
it is kinda of like summer back in Canada, many programs are school year based because that is when everyone is around.
Patience and perserverance are in order then!
