Prodigal: That is a lot of rain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: Yes, it is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from Henry Ward Beecher<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no such thing as preaching patience into people unless the sermon is so long that they have to practice it while they hear. No man can learn patience except by going out into the hurly burly world and taking life just as it blows. Patience is but lying low and riding out the gale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
