Saw the dreadful scenes from Ft. McMurray on the Weather Channel a few moments ago...horror best describes them. I am praying that God will send torrents of rain to stop this devastation. The weather lady showed a map with markers of drought and dryness pretty much throughout the area. Nature at its worse. I pray that all of you here that have family and friends affected by this are all safe.

Rain without the lightening.

When the temperature goes down, and the humidity goes up, the result is often thunder and lightening.

The scope of this is beyond my imagination--such a horrible situation. Prayers being sent that the fire will be brought under control soon and that the only additional casualties are to property--that can be replaced unlike the human and animal lives lost so far.

Extended forecast:



So where’s the rain?

Despite the cooler temperatures from this atmospheric set-up, widespread rainfall across the region is looking unlikely during the next week.

This is not to say it will be completely dry, however. Despite model disagreement, periods of rain can be expected next week that will provide at least some regional relief.

I need to borrow this thread. Well, I don't know that I need prayers...I need....I don't know what I need. In the grand scheme of things, this is small. I get that. But I need to let it out.

The calendar for the month of May in 1988 is the same as May 2016. I know this because it's a Mother's Day I will never forget. Sunday, May 8 was the last day I spoke with my mother. She was in the hospital, on a list for palliative care....but that day, I knew she would never leave the hospital. On Monday, May 9, we got "the call". I got to the hospital before she died, but just barely. She was unconscious, so though I spoke "to" her I did not speak "with" her.

Now, 2016. My daughter in law is overdue. She has had a lot of false labour. It has occasionally gotten strong enough and steady enough they thought it was real. Then it stops.

I want the baby safe and healthy....but I'd prefer not on Monday. Kind of would have preferred not the 8th either....but the 9th is worse.

Prayers for a safe and easy delivery. Do you think, if she delivers on the 9th, it might be a "sign" that your mom would like you to now think of the 9th with joy instead of sadness? Not to take away from what that date means to you, but to add to it with something joyous for the future.

Okay, I had something very similar happen to me as far as a birth and death. My dad died on a certain day, and my best friend from high school had her baby on that day many years later. I was in the delivery room. So, it was very bittersweet, but I did not speak about it because it was a happy day. So, although I always know that day is the day my dad died, I honor the memory, but I give my energy to the positive baby that grew up to be a wonderful woman. And, she gave me a gift -- it's her children that I babysit. They came into my life at a time I really needed something to focus on. I needed light and love and happiness and this first little boy of hers did that for me, and now there is a second one. This family, these kids, have given me so much more than I have ever given back to them. They are my blessing.

So, honor your momma, but look to the future for all the wonderful memories this little person will put in your heart and mind! It WILL be okay.

Also, many years ago, when my oldest son was younger, we had an elderly aunt in her 90s who was in the hospital and we were told she wouldn't have long. It was very very close to my son's birthday and my mom worried and worried that she would die on my son's birthday. She didn't.

Fast forward a few years and my mom was dying. And once again, it was very very close to my oldest son's birthday. I know for a fact that she hung on to get past his birthday. I know she did. She died a few days later.

This baby might just be a gift from your mom. She's been taking care of this little soul and now will send it to you. If it comes on that day, I would definitely look at it that way.

Man. That choked me up.
