August 22, 2022 - Good Morning! It's Monday, August 22.
Just a few weeks ago, Shelby County Texas was high and dry. We were in a drought. We were under a burn ban. The temps were in the triple digits and rain was a distant memory. How things have changed! We got three inches over the last few days, it's pouring as I write this, and the weatherman says there's lots more to come.
And so, naturally, I'm thinking about a man... named Noah! Here's a reprint of a clever top ten list. Enjoy.
Everything I Need to Know in Life, I Learned From Noah's Ark.
1. Don't miss the boat.
2. Remember, we're all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.
4. Stay fit. When you're really old, someone may ask you to do something really important.
5. Don't listen to critics, just get on with the job at hand.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety sake, travel in pairs.
8. When you're stressed, float a while.
9. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, the Titanic by professionals.
10. No matter the storm, when you're with God, there's always a rainbow coming.
Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
