Rain and more rain!!

I don't about you, but here in Mississippi we are just about waterlogged. It was reported that we have had 3 times more rain this February than last. I feel it, literally. A lot now but it will be scarce soon enough.

Have you complained? I have. There are things I would like to do on Saturday besides being inside. I am sure there is some advantage to that. As I am typing (is that what I am doing even though I don't have a typewriter) the rain is falling yet again. But it is OK since I most likely wouldn't be rambling on the blog if it wasn't.

We have been well since my last blog at Thanksgiving (to long in between). Shirley and I have been working on our weight and general health. She is looking great and I am so proud of her. She has worked hard and it has paid off in big dividends. I started Weight Watchers last fall and I am making good progress. I have met my first loss goal. I don't have time to work out as much as I like (should). My like about working out wains very regularly, but I do manage to get 2 to 3 times per week in. I have a long way to go but making weekly progress is encouraging. Hopefully my Doctor will be impressed in a couple of months when I go back for my six month follow up. My hope is be off blood pressure medication by then end of the year.

One more thing then I will let you get to your life. My friend Jena challenged us to add something new to our quiet time. I chose to do the 1 year Bible reading. I am glad I did. It is a great tool to get you to read your Bible in an organized way. A bonus is if you find something that hits you then you can study about that a little more. Thanks Jena for the encouragement!

Well, that is it for today. Stay dry, well and God bless.
