Bring On the Rain!

Okay...the yard is raked...the Weed & Feed has been applied...and the raspberry bushes have been contained, so I say "let it rain!"  It has gotten cloudier today, but stayed dry, and it appears as if the weather will probably be dry until the end of the day tomorrow.  Once that rain returns though its going to be hard to turn off the tap.  On and off rain and cool weather is going to be with us through all of next week.  It isn't going to rain all the time, and it isn't going to rain all that much, but it will be damp and gray.  The prospects for a dry softball practice tomorrow afternoon are looking a little better than yesterday, but the prospects of my left knee holding out aren't so promising...but that's another story.  The Spokane Lutheran Softball League schedule kicks off a week from tomorrow, so we better get some people out there to see what we have, or more likely, don't have.  Last Sunday we only got 7 of the 17 signed up to come out and "throw it around", I am hoping for better participation tomorrow.

Easter is rapidly approaching, so the busy-ness at the church is ramping up.  This week has actually been rather quiet compared to last week.  The pre-school and Kindergarten has been closed for spring break, so I haven't had to babysit the staff (did I really say that? Yes, I did) and there were no funerals this week.  Lent is always a busier time because there is always two services to plan and execute, and two sermons to write and deliver.  When you throw in a seminary course that requires 3 research papers this quarter, one of which is due during the week leading up to Easter (when there are 3 service in the week) the stress level goes up a bit, and the available hours in the day diminish.
