The thunder rolled and the darkness came.  Still no power so the night was very dark, but softly the drops of rain sounded on my tin roof!  It was great to hear.  More than a brief sprinkling but not a deep downpour, the rain was the beginning to an answer to prayer. This little bit that we received although not enough to quench the thirst of this area or this great land is a good start.  Please pray that the rain will continue across the land.
