Everyone's asking, did this pastoral Texan haven survive last night's sound and fury, did it survive the flood? Yes, by the grace of God it did.
You could see the after effects of the storm this morning. Pecans and the broken debris of modern life lying in the gutter where they'd been swept by the floods. Want a weave or a styrofoam Whattaburger cup? Take your pick, there's plenty.
Regardless, POCs were scavenging the detritus as I walked Blue Eschaton to the Pick'n Steal. Good for them, big money in pecans. And that was that, we survived yet another raid by our Old Enemy, the Weather on the brave Republic of Texas.
I know, you're cautioning against false complacency. A battle won is not the same as a war won and that, all of you ten readers, is why we're prepared.
Come and take it,

Even wars won are not forever. My dad fought WWII. I in turn am an old, grey(ing) veteran of the Cold War. Yet here we are. Why? Because there is evil in this world, and it is aided by apathy and willful ignorance, and fed by greed and envy. The battle against evil will never be over.
ReplyDeleteI find your last photo...comforting.
RHT, I think you're right on.
ReplyDeleteIt's a neat little carbine and fun to shoot -- we MUST sort out a range day before too long. You'll have to forgive me, I've been hijacked by broken legs, kids, the Army, Canada and all the rest...
Depending on where you are, rain can be a blessing. Just not too much blessing, please.
ReplyDeleteEvil will only end when Jesus returns to claim his throne.
ReplyDeleteWe are well here, too, praise God.
Glad to read that you are all well, Parson.
You have the Blue Avenger standing firm against the ravages of Global Warming. He's stalwart, and good company.
ReplyDeleteNice piece of carpet.
ReplyDeleteEvil - I like to say that regardless of one's faith, there is no denying that the struggle between good and evil has always been with us and always will be. Pick a side.
That pup looks worried.
ReplyDeleteI totally get that, WSF, I really do. I guess the same applies to snow.
ReplyDeleteThat, Linda, is an excellent point. God bless.
ReplyDeleteThe storm didn't bother him at all, LL. He mostly slept, good companion.
ReplyDeleteIt was my dad's study carpet, Kid, and a good one. As for evil, well, pick a side and make sure it's the right one.
ReplyDeleteHe does a bit, AOW, but he was fine. I think he was hoping for a treat in the pic...
