We'll Sing in the Sunshine

What'd you do with it? Where'd it go? It was here a couple of days ago.

Day before yesterday, we were on the verge of record breaking heat. It was triple digits in the valley and even hit triple digit in the foothills. The temp' gauge on my front porch was pushing 98 degrees. The west coast was right smack in the middle of a good old-fashioned heat wave and the sun was super bright!

God didn't turn the lights on yesterday morning or today either. Or maybe someone or something stole our sun and took it to a distant galaxy far, far away. Or maybe it just plain forgot to get out of bed. Whatever, the sun is missing and hasn't been seen in two days. Long enough for an A.P.B. to be issued. Not complaining about the weather itself, it's comfortably warm though a little muggy. While just a bit dreary out, the temp's themselves are actually kind of pleasant.

But enough is enough. We don't need or want him to wear himself out being ultra bright or ugly hot again - warm and pleasant is fine, but I rather think it's time Mr. Sun either broke away from his captors or got himself out of bed, whichever, and showed his beaming face again.

And if God turns the lights on tomorrow morning, we can sing in the sunshine.
