Moaning and Groaning

I haven’t blogged in awhile.  My sister is getting on me for not writing anything.  She must not have much to do, because Scotty is just now commenting on a blog I’d written on April 4.  Sis, you need to be in a “family” way.  That’ll give you something to do.
It’s getting ready to rain here, something that all of Kansas really needs right now.  The spring has been pleasant, but dry.  When we went to Southern Kansas a few days ago, the lawns and pastures looked like they normally do in the latter part of July.  The rural roads were dusty and dry.  It’s not good in Central and Southern Kansas, and although it’s better here in Topeka, we still could use some soaking rain.
It’s funny how we moan and groan when the rain seems to never stop, and we also moan and groan when it DOES stop for longer than we think it should.  It’s as if the Almighty takes His cues on when to bring the refreshing water based on our moaning and groaning.
I think there’s something there that’s amiss.  We need to understand that He would send the rain if not a human being one occupied this planet.  And He would stop the rain just as easily, even though not a homo sapiens breathed air.  Kind of brings home the point that what we have to say about it doesn’t matter much.  Maybe we should direct our energies toward something that will do some good.
