Dave Godzwa has responded to a question I asked in a post called Sunny Days and Stormy Praise.

His comment on this site included some great thoughts about prayer:

“Sometimes what comes out won’t be pretty, but in all of our laughing and crying, praising and (perhaps) cursing, words of faith and frustration, I believe that God is working something out in us through His Spirit, and we are telling Him that He is more than a heavenly vending machine. He is our perfect, heavenly Father. And, who knows, when we are done, maybe He’ll have time to say something to us.”

Speaking of Rain: Nicole has discovered a wonderful word:

Petrichor – “A pleasant distinctive smell of rain falling on dry ground.”

Isn’t that a great word? Read her post.
