The <em>State of Texas<\/em> went from extreme drought to no drought in one week\u2019s time. In some areas there was over 20 inches of rain. The streets of Bagdad were running like rivers.

Sometimes an umbrella will protect us from the rain, but if the storms of life beat too heavily, we need to seek the shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Our shelter from the \u201crain\u201d in our life is our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. He is the only One who knows when the \u201crains\u201d will come and will not only give us protection from them, but will allow us to provide protection for those around us.
