Someone famous? Like - Barry Manilow or Barry White? Nope!
Barry Bonds? No way... especially if he breaks Henry's record (which he is likely to do soon).
I don't think I even personally know someone with the first (or last) name Barry.
The Barry that I met this morning is not human. But, he is a creation of God!
Tropical Storm Barry, the second name storm of the Atlantic Hurricane season is throwing moisture across Florida and southern Georgia. The rain began here around 3:30 this morning and has been steadily falling since. A slow, slight rain. The raindrop are small and quickly soaked up by the thristy earth. Offically, we only received 0.38" of rain for the entire month of May.
That sounds like such a small amount of water. Go ahead and turn on the facuet in the sink and measure out just over a 1/3 of an inch of water. Doesn't look like much, does it? But God can spread that much water over His land in just a short time...
43,560 sq feet in one acre of land
1 inch rain on 1 acre = 6,272,640 cu inches water
1 sq foot = 144 sq inches1 acre = 6,272,640 sq inches
1 cu inch water = 0.004329005 gallons
1 acre - inch of water = 27,154 gallons
so our 0.38" for May = 10,319 gallons
Try running that much water from your kitchen sink!
It felt so good to have rain falling again, that we walked to the Beaver Pond this morning. Stopping by the tractor shed in the Tall Pines, we listened to the drops as they hit the tin roof.
We thank God and Praise Him for the rain this Morning. We have already received over 1/2" of rain this morning!!!
Rain drops falling on our front deck!
