Hebrews 11:35-38 "Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance: that they might obtain a better resurrection. +And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings; yea moreover of bonds and imprisonment: they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; were destitute, afflicted, tormented; Of whom the world was not worthy.

When I started driving as a teenager there were signs that told you to turn your “lights on when raining.” Although we have not had much rain around here, sometimes it can rain and when it does it pours down! Other cars need to know there is someone else on the road.

We have had absolutely no rain in the past three weeks. We received 2.5 in October compared to 1.8 in October last year. We are now up to 17.3 for the year and we had received 43.9 at this time last year. There is no rain in the forecast any time soon.

Everyone made it through Halloween with no mishaps around the Bend and the weather was good for all trick or treaters.

Another breathtaking week under our belt! The race for year’s end is in full throttle and time is winning out! Can you believe we have less than sixty days until Christmas! I figure I must be old because they say time goes faster when you’re old. I don’t know what happened to this year but I’d like some of it back!
Our weather has been just about perfect.

Our church is praying for a young man who needs a heart transplant. His heart is diseased and unless he gets a new heart he will die. His problem reminds me of a problem that we all face in life and it is a problem with our spiritual heart. There are many passages in the Bible that talks about this heart and the different problems it can have.
