It is raining, a good, soaking, hard Missouri rain. I love rain, and I love listening to it fall. I love thunderstorms, and I love the way the world feels after the rain has moved on. I love the smell of the clean air, and the crisp look of land scrubbed clean. In Primary, we sing a song about baptism that starts: "I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain, and ponder on the beauty of the earth made clean again. I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain." Every day is a new day, an opportunity to try again and to do better. What a wonderful blessing!
