This picture is from much earlier tonight right on the corner by our church bldg. This is right where we drove by coming home from worship tonight- this is what happened not to much later...and the rain is still coming down.....and we now have a sinkhole between our's and our neighbor's house. It's 'only' about 4ftx4ft and 3 ft deep, well at least that's what it was a few hours ago, haven't checked it lately.
Schools have had to close.....Truly this is amazing...
WOW....time to find some Gopher Wood and look up the ark dimensions. It's crazy rainy here. Truly, this part of the world has been my hometown since I was in 6th grade and I've never seen anything like it.

Look HERE for some viewer pictures from today (go to the slideshow at this link), but keep in mind after nightfall the rain moved in in downpours again...and is still falling. Thankfully I drive a 'tank' (96 Lexus LX450 - like a toyota landcruiser) other cars on our way home from worship tonight weren't faring as well....many were stopped on the side of the road, stalled out, trning around etc....we were turned around on our usual route home. Two trucks flagged us down saying not to go that way we wouldn't be able to get through...one of them was a great big utility truck...just wow!! After so so many years of drought, rationing water, etc...this is amazing!! I'm not complaining. Just in awe!!

Seriously? That's encouraging. Georgia has been in a drought since I was in HS. Last time I visited and saw Lake Lanier, it brought me to tears because the water was so low. I am glad to know that God is answering the prayers of His people for rain in that area. I hope everyone stays safe and that there are no flash floods. We used to couple our prayers for rain with prayers for revival; that God would pour out His spirit as He poured out the physical rain; that people would flood His house and find refreshment as He refreshed the land. I hope both prayers are being answered. :)
Sadly flash floods are all around us. Funny I've not complained a bit with this rain...hard to when we've prayed for so long for it.
Although I do now have a sinkhole between my house and my neighbors that's appeared in the last hour or so. Going to be a long night....Rain is still falling and the flood warnings go until 3 am.
Still not complaining...more like marveling. I've truly never seen anything like it.
I will pray for safety for everyone involved. But I can understand you not complaining about the difficulties associated with getting so much rain. My heart is soaring to see God answer 20 years worth of prayers. May He bless you abundantly today. :)
I nominated you!! Check out my blog!
