strange happenings!

At 3:30am today I was awaken with the sound of thunder. Then about a 1/2 hour later, I heard rain splattering against the pane. Surprise, water coming from the skies. We actually had a nice heavy soaking rain that lasted off & on for 4 hours. I actually had to find my rain coat & wore it out to the car.
The smell of the rain was fresh as the morning dew.
Well had a decent week, got out 3 days in FS, did a couple of early mornings starting at 7. Missed the group 1 morning, so went by myself, and did gas stations, we have plenty. The 1st 1, I was waiting for a man to hit the pumps, then saw a landscape crew come in, all Mexicans, looked in my bag and had 4 spanish WTs left, so said Hello(Hola), in spanish presented mgs and the man took them. Repeated that 3 more times 2 in AM, then 1 on way after service and all my 4 spanish mags were gone! My spanglish was ok. So 4 landscape crews 4 mgs. Those men working up in states, support at least 1 family back in Mexico, maybe more. They will live together, divide the expenses, and conserve there $ so as to take care of ones counting on them in Mexico. Even tho there only making minimum wage they are making good money in Pesos.
Here is a riddle dor you: How can you be happy making a RV the 1st one after initial call, w/o reaching your Rv to talk to? ....................................................His wife tells you he isn't there but, he "was looking forward to you coming back". YEA. It was a slow day in FS but that was our last call and that made my week.
Today we went to find a RAW food restaurant we heard about thru friends, new down in U City. After a couple wrong turns we found it, with some tech support from our friends. It was called Fridas. Now mind you we had walked about 30 minutes where we thought it was, it was almost 3pm, and hadn't eaten since our smoothie in morning. As we were looking we passed some great places to eat, PIs, my favorite pizza place, several other sushi bars etc. When we finally found it, drove by, and said "no way". It was a hole in the wall, with about 4 table and 2 bar stool tables. But we were starving, so I parked told Elaine to wait in car, while I dubiously went inside. Looked at menu, and decided we were hungry enough to try the meager sitting area. Got a table and looked over what to order.

Looks good doesn't it? I had a walnut/mushroom burger, with avocado, sprouts, and cucumbers. tomatoes. Elaine had a "FRIDA special" slaw on top of a vegan burger, with cucumbers, on a whole wheat bun. Both were good.









Earlier in our endeavor to find Fridas, saw this for the 1st time.
I guess it is used for what it says on it, but just reminded me of what is going on in other lands, and how with the stroke of a pen/keyboard, it could be used against and is us, brothers.

Nuisance abatement Vehicle. Who defines Nuisance?

We know persecution is coming if we live here in states or Mexico, but how long before the forces of satan are unleashed on us, as they have and are against our sisters & brothers?
As we know it will require us to have prepared our hearts for those days. What better way than to do the Lords work now, witness and ahead of time consider our response to such persecution? Seems like I heard that somewhere.

With the long drought we have had, here in midwest, that is the spiritual drought the world has had. But we have the spiritual "waters of life" coming unending to us.

Jehovahs our water source and He always supplies what we need, in abundance, it is up to us to "drink" from those waters, get hydrated when we can, take advantage of the waters of life.
Just like this stream that even in the worst drought in at least 75 years, we want to be planted alongside the stream that Jehovah gives us.







All for now,
Love,
 Tom & Elaine
