muggy morning

Here I sit. I am waiting for it to rain. Do you know what I mean? When the sky is gray and heavy but just will not let go of the rain that hovers overhead. I am not sure that the rain will improve the weather here...It is too muggy for that. It will just get more humid if it rains. I like rain. I even like some kinds of humidity. Chicago is so much less humid than some of the other parts of the country I have lived in. Daytona...now that is humid. They call it sub-tropical. Richmond was built on swampland. That gets a mite muggy from time to time.

Everyone got home late last night. Trish had a rehearsal. Robyn worked late. I was in bed before they both arrived home. Thus, I am up now. I will go and snuggle with Trish in just a few minutes. That is always a good way to start the day.

I posted a couple of new links. In the Arminian and Yet Reformed Seminary you will find a link to Real Live Preacher. I have been reading him off and on for a while. He is an inspiration of sorts. Baptist. Candid. Thoughtful. I do like it. Also, in the Graduate School, you will find a link to Catherine M. Wallace. She was the writer in residence at SWTS while I was there. I like her. AKMA mentioned her in his most recent Ekklesia Conference post. I have been meaning to link to her site. She does not blog that I am aware of, but her publications are interesting. I commend both of these sites to you.

Well, I am having coffee with my favorite cranky Lutheran pietist this morning. We are meeting at Kopi. This is a great thing. I like Larry and his pietism. We seldom get to just hang out. He and I are in league with Jane Ellen in the creation of a congregation in the Roger's Park neighborhood. As detals come, I will share them. We have been worshiping together fairly regularly now. There are 6-8 people who come. There will hopefully be more. Pray for us.

Muggy == humid == oppressive == out here it's simply hot. And when it does rain, things improve. Don't mean to be gloating, but . . . I don't miss it one bit.
