It can get pretty stormy up here in the Pacific Northwest.  This Saturday offered a glimpse of the power of nature.  We had gusting winds up to 50MPH and we surpassed the rainfall record for a September day: almost 2" and up to 3" in some of the outlining areas. 

I am sure you are thinking... it's Seattle, doesn't it always rains...you should be used to it.  Well, sort of...we don't typically get flood warnings when it rains here.  And, the power usually doesn't go out. Well the rain isn't the topic but I am sure we could tie it in theologically somehow. 

The issue is the power outage.

We have a great time at dinner!

It is one of my favorite times to spend with the family. We have this card deck that has very weird situations on it, asking us what we would do, or be, or who we would bring if…

I am sure there are plenty of posts to read that will talk about 9/11 and the travesty that occurred on our soil against the innocent.  Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those families.

Furthermore, as a military veteran of Panama and Gulf I, not a day goes by that I do not pray for our Country and our soldiers. I think there is something bigger going on people are trying to reclaim bits and pieces of their freedom.  I am not talking about the ”freedom” to do whatever, whenever, and however you want, rather the freedom that comes from “emptying your cup”.  The freedom that came with summer and perhaps may leave with fall.
