phase
my mother is getting a new roof on the house. the workers start working at 5:30 am on account of it being so hot. like record hot. they're praying for cold. she lives in a part of the country where they had excessive snow just six months ago. when they were praying for warm. hrm. apparently god is being kinda contrary. and giving them the exact opposite of what they're praying for. hrm. or maybe there's some sort of six month bureaucratic delay between prayer and answer. i think i'd prefer to believe in the latter. which means... folks should right now be praying for more heat. not less. so they get it this winter when they're tired of the snow again. and i'm pretty sure they will. cause oddly enough, years with heavy snowfall correlate with years of elevated temperatures. kinda makes sense. you need humid air to get precipitation. and you need heat to make humid air. so if you've got friends on the east coast, tell em to start praying for a warm dry winter now.
