We Have Hit The Weather Jackpot This Summer!

Please tune in tomorrow for Part 1 of a special Word For Wednesday. I would be honored to have you join us.

We Have Hit The Weather Jackpot This Summer!

Whatever the weather we’ll weather the weather, whether we like it or not.

And while that is true and while that is clever, the fact remains, we have hit the weather jackpot this summer!

In May, June and early July 2022, KJo and I were in Arizona and southern California. Later in July we were in Kansas If we had been in those same locations this year, we would have roasted in no uncertain terms.

In fact, had we been almost anywhere in the USA this summer, other than where we have been, we would have been hotter than most summers and much hotter than we have been.

We hit the weather jackpot this summer, no doubt! Hallelujah!

The temperatures have been in the 70s and low 80s for most of our time in the northeast and that seems to be the forecast for the rest of our time up here as well. Vermont later this week is low 70s and even 60s one day. Unfortunately, the forecast includes a little rain.

Early on, we had some 90 degree days in southern Maine, but it felt nice and mild to us for the most part. The high only lasted an hour or two each afternoon and the humidity was completely tolerable for us. We can handle that and we did handle it just fine.

I have been getting texts regularly from friends across the country showing me temps in the 90s before 8:00 in the morning and still in the 90s as the sun goes down. Many of our friends had temperatures in the upper 90s or 100s nearly every day in July.

Yep, we hit the weather jackpot this summer!

We will head back south within a week and we are likely to encounter some oppressive heat before fall. We have two revivals in south Alabama and tent revival in Richton, Mississippi and all three of those are likely to be hot.

There is a chance that Mississippi tent revival will make us pay dearly for the beautiful weather we have thoroughly enjoyed the last five weeks. OR perhaps fall will swing into the south and we will breeze right through it.

One thing is for sure. Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot.Whether the weather be good or whether the weather be not.
Whatever the weather we’ll weather the weather, whether we like it or not.

Thank you for dropping by Mile Markers today.
