The weather man continues to tell us that get some moisture, but most of the time it wind and few sprinkles. The temperature remain high and everyone is looking for the shade.

Smile a little: My lucky number-Thirteen ministers were on a flight to New York. When they came into a large storm, they told the stewardess to tell the pilot that everything would be okay because 13 ministers were on board. Later the stewardess returned from the cockpit. “What did the pilot say?” one preachers asked. “He said he was glad to have 13 ministers aboard but he would rather have four good engines.”
