Was anybody driving down Tennessee Street at about 1:45 yesterday? It was like a dam broke. Rain pouring down from out of nowhere. Ocala looked a lot like this-



That's me standing there by that rock where Crystal River used to be.

Anyway, I managed to keep my little Saturn from floating away by staying in the middle lane because the right hand one was submerged in rushing water. I was completely soaked running the 5 feet from my car to my door. I'm reading through Genesis and when I opened up my Bible last night, lo and behold, we were on the story of Noah. Not the Evan Almighty version, but the old school one. (Michael Scott or not, I'm not a fan of sequels so I'm going to bypass that one.) So here's the gist of chapter 7.

"The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation...And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him...And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth."

I wonder if Noah or any of his family thought about how ridiculous it seemed to wait 7 days inside an ark for the whole earth to flood. In the Fantasia version of Noah and the ark it starts to rain as soon as they all get inside. Granted, you can't expect the story to be too terribly accurate when Noah hires Donald Duck as his assistant. But I just think that if I were in that ark, sharing my room with an elephant, an anaconda and a couple of horned toads, I'd be ready to throw in my hat and get back to the sunshine. Good thing they didn't though, or I suppose I wouldn't be here.

I suppose God does promise us things and then makes us wait a bit. Afterall, the Israelites waited 400 years for freedom. I hope I never have to wait that long for something.
