NOISE!

I am not sure if the camera's small mic will pick it up, but here is a typical day in Florida. It usually rains, thunders & lightenings at least once a day. On this day in particular there was a constant rumble of thunder due to the consistent lightning strikes. I got a couple strikes on film but I was fascinated with the constant rumble. I had to film through the screen so sorry for the poor reflection. Maybe if you turn up your sound real loud you might here it too?

Here is a picture of a turtle I almost ran over sitting in a puddle on the roadway. I figured someone else might mistake him for pavement as well so after snapping his pic I moved him to a safe place since he was so little....... as you can tell he is a bit shy!

SO far all the other animals have been hiding real well which is a bummer. I really want a pic of an armadillo & racoon to share but I may have to wait till the weather is a bit better?

I tried getting a short video of the noisey neighbors! Whatever they are, birds, crickets, some other bug I would care not to meet? They live in this tree and while you may not be able to hear them in the video I can hear their constant buzzing from inside my house! They tend to get a little quieter once I started taking an interest filming. GRRRR! John says that once I get used to the buzzing I will miss it if it ever goes away? I suppose he is right as it is the sounds of the country!

For those of you wondering about how John did on his test, well we are not sure quite yet. All of the guys that went up together to take it, came out from taking the test with the same dread...... Each felt as if they couldn't have prepared any better than they did but that they might not have passed. We shared this on Wed. night at church as our prayer request. A lot of the sermon talked about how it is not anything that we do in our own strength that bears fruit but only what the Lord does through us. I figured it would be neat if God reveals himself through John passing that it is not in John's strength/wisdom, but that the Lord did it through him.

John got to go to the core facility today and tour the place. He met some other folks that lateralled over from state facilities and are taking some of the same intro courses. Tomorrow he has a training called verbal judo that teaches you how to communicate effectively/professionally wiht the inmates. I guess this is a training John has always wanted to attend and here everyone gets it before they start working! Next week he will have to be sprayed & tazed so as you might of guessed, he is real excited about this! :o) He is having fun and just praying that God will expedite his test results so he can stop waiting with anticipation...... Tis all for now! I hear you all in Tri-cities are experiencing and early fall. I am jelous! TTFN!
