Last week was Oregon Home Education week.
Newt joined a statewide homeschool choir to perform on the steps of the State Capitol.
The kids were so well behaved, even while waiting for-ev-er until it was time to sing.
The sun peeked out from behind a cloud just in time to see the colors posted.
And the choir basked in its light as they sang The Star Spangled Banner.
The invocation was given and God was thanked for, and I quote, “turning off the spigot”.
Moments after amen, God looked down on us, laughed, and turned it back on.
We laughed too, because we are Oregonians. Rain means little to us.
The choir donned their coats and started a new piece.
Oh beautiful for spacious skies…
…from sea to shining sea!
As the applause died out, so did the rain.
It was a beautiful day.
