Just in time---the Annual Vacation Bible School Thunderstorm and Monsoon!!!!!

My kids started attending VBS at a church just around the corner in 1998. This would be year #9. Now that I'm not pastoring, we've visited there on Sunday morning a few times recently, too.

Anyway, it seems that, one night, when it's time to pick up the little ones (well, big ones, now!), sometime between 830 and 9pm, when it ends, the monsoon arrives.

Tonight didn't disappoint. Lightning and thunder around 825, brief lightning outage, followed by a huge light and rain show by 850. It was (as Andy would say) "frog-stranglin' rain!" Wifey literally couldn't see to drive; I helped us get to the church and drove home.

Once getting home with our two kids and their three cousins, I went straight to the restroom and towel off from my second shower of the day. :)

So, make that, oh, approximately six out of nine years (maybe seven), where, while we looked toward heaven, we found an open door.

Meteorlogically speaking in this particular case. :)
