Last night I had to turn off and unplug all my electrical things. We has some major lighting and raining going on. Around 10 pm I took my dog out, so she could take care of her bathroom needs. Lo and behold my yard was flooded. You could not even see where the street was at. It came clear up to my porch. Even my flower garden was totally under water. I looked out my back door, and it was the same way. Talking about getting nervous. So I started packing a few things, just in the chance that I would have to leave. While doing this I was keeping a close eye on the outside. The water was starting to come onto my porch by this time. So I had decided that I would call my husband (he has the car, and the other one is in the shop). As I was starting to dial the phone, I decided to look out one more time. All the water was gone.
So I took a deep breath, and a sigh of relief. Talking about being freaked out. So I decided that I would not call, and get some sleep. Then my dog woke me up around 3 am, she needed to go. Guess what? The yard was flooded again. So I kept a close eye on it, but this time it did not come up as high.
Today my yard is a big mess, and my shed had about an inch of mud inside it. They are saying that we are suppose to get alot of rain tonight. So I am holding the clean up, until this weekend. With the exception of my shed.

A Life Lesson
by Tammie inone day a farmer's donkey fell into an abandoned well.
the animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
finally, he decided that the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, so it just wasn't worth it to him to try to retrieve the donkey.. he invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.

One day a farmer's donkey fell into an abandoned well. The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided that the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, so it just wasn't worth it to him to try to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. Realizing what was happening, the donkey at first cried and wailed horribly. Then, a few shovelfuls later, he quieted down completely. The farmer peered down into the well, and was astounded by what he saw. With every shovelful of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off, to the shock and astonishment of all the neighbors!
Moral of the Story: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to not let it bury you, but to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, and never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!
Also, the donkey kicked the crap out of the farmer who tried to bury him, which brings me to another moral for this story: Whenever you try to cover your ass, it always comes back and gets you in the end!

The reason why I was shocked was because hubby came home at 2:30 am. I was asleep when he came home. He woke me up, and excitedly said, "Tammie, I want to show you something!" At first I could not see anything, because I did not have on my glasses, and my eyes was not focused. Plus not getting adjusted to the light that was turned on.

I was watching tv last night and this man was nearly arrested. He has been a christian for over 30 years.
He was on an airplane here in the United States, with his wife and another friend. He made the comment "We need to pray for Israel.", to his wife.
He was pulled off the plane by some men and the police. They told him, that it is against the law to say the word prayer on an airplane. They went to call him a radical. He said how can I be a radical, when I obey the laws, and pay my taxes? He is just one of your every day christians.He was not allowed to reboard the plane, he had to find another means of travel.
If you are wondering how long ago this happened, he said it happen this past week.

Five planets line up in rare celestial array
By ANDREW BRIDGES AP Science Writer
Published 11:40 a.m. PDT Wednesday, April 17, 2002
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The five brightest planets visible from Earth have lined up in plain sight to form a spectacular celestial array that won't be seen again until 2040.
Through the next four weeks, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn and Venus will appear tightly clustered in the western sky, forming a knot of planets that can be viewed in the evening despite the glow of light-soaked cities."The five naked-eye planets are converging in one part of the sky and from now until mid-May you can see all five at one glance, which is pretty unusual," said John Mosley, an astronomer at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.
Each evening, the alignment will assume different shapes, as the five planets continue on the orbital paths that take them around the sun. The planets orbit in the same plane, like grooves in a phonograph record, only at different distances.
Each planet also varies in the amount of time it takes to orbit the sun: Mercury zips around once every 88 days; Saturn takes more than 29 years; the others fall in between. At times the planets appear to cluster together.
Similar bunchings occur every 20 years or so, although they are not always visible. The last they were this visible was in 1940. In May 2000, the five planets formed a tighter bunch, but were so close to the sun that they were washed out by its glare.
In 2004, they will appear together again in the night sky, but will be spread over a much wider area, said J. Kelly Beatty, executive editor of Sky & Telescope magazine. They won't be as easy to spy at a single glance again until 2040.
"This is the nature of the clockwork of the solar system," Beatty said. "We like to think of it as a way to remind people there is a simple beauty in the heavens that doesn't require any special training to appreciate."
Astronomers stress there is no astronomical significance to the pileup. It is, Beatty said, just a "pretty coincidence."
That hasn't stopped doomsayers in the past. In the months before the May 2000 lineup, some thought it foretold widespread catastrophe.
To view the planetary alignment, find a dark area and look west as twilight ends. Binoculars or a telescope are not needed.
The planets already are appearing together nightly, although they will be at their closest on May 14, when Jupiter will be high and bright in the sky. Below it, Venus will be paired with the crescent moon. Mars will lie below it, and Saturn below it. Farther down and to the right, Mercury will hug the horizon.
