Weird and wild weather struck Galveston with a vengeance yesterday. Not a hurricane or anything. Just crazy, rolling clouds and lots and lots of thunder all day. Loud thunder. Not a lot of rain, though.
We
snuck out in between bands and made a quick WalMart run for some
groceries. Once inside we heard the bottom
drop out. Sounded like some serious rain
finally decided to dump all at once on the Island. Buckets and buckets full. We stayed dry, though. And by the time we scanned our last banana,
it had stopped and gave us a reprieve so we could get the groceries to the car
unscathed. Or at least relatively dry.
Most
of the rest of my day was spent at my desk doing church work. It was just one of those days where not much
exciting happened. You know … nice. The weather continued to be blah at best all
day, with the promise of more severe rain to come.
The
action finally started to pick up around seven when the Astros game began. It was a pretty intense pitcher’s duel,
though. Not much offense on either
side. Bregman and Altuve finally hit
home runs, but that just kept the score tied.
In the bottom of the ninth, though, the Astros loaded the bases on an
infield single, a fielder’s choice, a ground out, and an intentional walk. Not a single ball hit out of the infield. Then not one, but two walks in a row drove in
the winning run. Pretty exciting
finish. Chris missed all the good
stuff. When she went to bed the score
was 3-2 bad guys.
James
3:13 says, “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds
done in the humility that comes from wisdom.”
Father,
thank you for the rain you sent us. And
the sound show of your power was pretty amazing as well. Amen.
