Thank You, Isaac

Hurricanes are not all bad. It's true that hurricane Isaac has flooded homes and businesses in Louisiana and Mississippi and I'm sorry for that, but its counter-clockwise north heading has brought rain to eastern Kansas, for which I am thankful. We are just on the western edge of Isaac's swirling mass of water.


A gentle rain began early this afternoon and continues into the evening. It's expected to last all night. Moving north, Isaac has lost his punch and now is a gentle old man. He brings exactly what we need – soft, slow rain that soaks into the parched earth. I'm thinking of him as a grandfather, bestowing his blessings.
