It was nice to wake up to rain this morning. Fall is my favorite time of year, and I can’t wait until it is officially calendarically (a new word) so. The rain cleans the air and keeps the pollen down, so maybe Ryan will finally get over the coughing/sneezing spells that have ravaged him these past several weeks. I hesitate saying this out loud, because I don’t want to jinx it (not that I believe in jinxing), but he’s actually had a terrific last couple of days. Thank you Lord!

Please pray for more rain and less pollen here…and more rain in areas in the world that need it, and less in places that don’t…and that Ryan continues on this good trend…
