Close, and yet...not

It's easy to understand how some practices came into being. It's almost like the real thing! Kind of like the copycat recipes for J.Dawgs sauce.
 

A covert from the storm

Does the amount of time I spend on gospel study affect the weather at all? Probably not. Although it might help calm some of the internal storms.
 

All wet

One of the hazards of living in the Pacific Northwest.
 

It's bursting forth

Here in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, the heavens are opened quite often. 
 

Stormy weather

The weather’s turned stormy, just in time for the weekend!
 

What is this stuff coming down?

This is the kind of thing we run into all the time in the Pacific Northwest.
 

And the galoshes of peace

We’ve had a LOT of rain here. 
 

The heavens opened

There are few things less fun than camping in the rain. Pulling a handcart in the rain is one of them. 
 

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head

We’ve had record-breaking amounts of rain this spring. It’s good for the water table, but a little challenging for the missionaries who are on foot. 
 

That's what happens when you have too much faith!

Or use a lower octane prayer.
 

Praying for rain

With all the fire and smoke we're experiencing on the west coast, we're praying for a little bit of rain!

Falling upon their heads

It's a rerun, but somehow it seems appropriate.

Every cloud has a lining of some sort

Now that's what I call an object lesson!

Because mom cares

Moms always know.

Getting through the rain

There are a couple of ways to cope with rainy days. The top one was a promotional ad for the New Era that they put in the programs at EFY.

It's the rain that washes you clean

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we're very thankful for the rain we're getting now. For one thing, it's helped calm down the wildfires that have been plaguing the area. Thousands of acres have burned all across the state!* For another, the rain has cleaned out the air — it's been laden with smoke and ash, making everything smell like the neighbors are having a campfire.

It's clean, refreshing and caffeine-free — we love it!

*If you want to see how bad it's been, check out the Oregon DOT Flickr account!

Not room enough to receive it

Thanks to our missionaries for the inspiration on this one.

Whatever the weather brings

Hurricanes on the east coast, tornadoes on the west coast. How's everybody in between?

One with nature

Yeah, that's how it works...unless there's a lake nearby.

Singing in the rain

Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of fun, happy songs about snow? But can you think of any happy rain songs?
