Finally, but finally, more rain has arrived Tuesday night into Wednesday morning (A whopping 2.6 inches of rain) bringing the mountain back to life it seems. The total for the week here on the mountain that I have been keeping track of in that rain gauge right at 4 inches now and the rain is still falling. Next round of rain coming for us Sunday through Wednesday of next week.

How devastating for the people in East Tennessee who have lost their loved ones in those wildfires. A human life can never be replaced. In the wake of this death and destruction of everything in those wildfires path we realize just how quickly lives and property can be gone in just seconds. Mother Nature is so hard to predict and who would have thought back in the summer when the rains came and went every few days that the rainfall would come to a screeching halt and we would have such a drought as this. Be praying for the families that have lost so much in this terrible tragedy.

They were playing those classic rock and roll hits from the 60's last night on the PBS Station. Put the sound on the remote up several notches as this was heaven to me. Sure brought back those carefree teenage years where the world wasn't in all this mess we find ourselves in today. It was really a much better time in fact than the kind of peril we're living in today. I believe this because God was once head of this nation and held in such high reverence by so many. What happened you might wonder? Christians became lax and let those that are the loser's disciples sneak in and change some laws and they managed to ever so cleverly get others to turn from God and boast about themselves and slowly but surely waged a campaign to get God and prayer thrown out of schools and they succeeded. We are at fault for this calamity - no one else. Did you ever think you would see the American Flag burned and that it was okay to do that? Ask a Veteran that made it back alive from a war how bad it hurt them inside and were made sick to their stomach to witness this being allowed to happen and disgrace American to its very core. I would say brother or sister, "you are not worth the salt that goes in your bread", if you do this. You evidently don't appreciate how good you have it made here, so the faster you depart from this country, would not be soon enough for the rest of us that treasure and love this United States of America. A change very soon needs to be addressed about our beloved America Flag. I am praying that those who still have some guts and moral convictions in them will stamp out the wrong being done to the flag and give it back the honor, dignity, and all that it stands for and deserves.

Several people we need to be keeping in prayer: the families of those children that were killed in the bus crash in Chattanooga and the families of the kids that were also injured in the bus crash, Carlon and Mai Nell Melton, Charlie Mai Daniel, Edith Miller, and Denise Stanton.

Moles are once again on a rampage in our back yard. Thought they might just return at some point in time. I'm ready and have got this covered. Bubble gum has been taken out of wrappers and will stamp them out once more as I will put the Bubble Gum in the ground where they have worked it up. Update later on this.

Received this magazine from the Bradford Exchange the Other day. Some of you probably get it, too, ever so often life me, well, I do go on a about those 'little green men' in the column and sure was surprised on page 69 there to my amazement was a picture of an alien baby doll no less (I kid you not). The price a mere $99.99 and can be made in 4 easy installments of $28, after they've checked out your credit credentials (I added that). After all, you've got to be on the up and up to get in on a deal like this. His description is as follows: 16" tall (that's taller than one of my 9x13 clear baking dishes standing up on our kitchen counter), 4 fingers and 3 toes on each tiny hand and foot, large black eyes (because supposedly eye witnesses have confirmed this from Roswell, New Mexico UFO incident that occurred in 1947. He comes with a cosmic baby blanket, arms and legs that can be posed, and his head pivots to look for intelligent life. At the price they're selling it for, you would think it would talk alien or say something in English. No mention of that happening just that you can get it for Christmas delivery. If this goes over big with consumers I'll be waiting for that 'invisible cow' and the '10 ft bunny rabbit' to get in on the act. I've got my stuffed little green alien on my book shelf and a picture of an alien there beside of him. I'll just pass on getting the alien baby doll for the time being to add to my collection as 'two's company and three's a crowd', I've heard.

If you have any news for the column, just give ma a call at 615-563-4429.

The Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. -- Psalm 84:11
