Have You Ever Seen The Rain

I made this video several years ago, but I am posting it today as a reminder to pray for rain here in Central Washington. We have not had any rain since it rained to put out the Wenatchee fires in June and we have a fire burning near Chelan that has been going since June 29th and has consumed over 28,000 acres with no containment still. Never underestimate the power of God if people pray.  I also know In the winter, When it rains here. after freezing, we usually think of rocks on roadway. Most of the time rocks are pushed off with a snow blade, occasionally we will call for a loader, and sometimes we will just stop and kick the rocks off roadway. I had not seen one as big as this one below. It came down in Tumwater Canyon on SR 2 a couple years ago- no one was hurt. The estimated size was at about 25 feet long, 20 feet wide and 15 feet tall. The estimated weight was at 500,000 pounds. I am not sure where todays video was filmed, I think in another state, but I added the music and it is on youtube.com with my other  videos.
Above is the fire of over 28,000 acres that started June 29th.

"Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" is a song written by John Fogerty and released as a single in 1971 from the album Pendulum (1970) by roots rock group Creedence Clearwater Revival. The song charted highest in Canada, reaching number one on the RPM 100 national album chart in March 1971. In the U.S., it peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the same year. Fogerty himself has said in interviews and prior to playing the song in concert that the song is about rising tension within CCR and the imminent departure of his brother Tom from the band.[4] In an interview, Fogerty stated that the song was written about the fact that they were on the top of the charts, and had surpassed all of their wildest expectations of fame and fortune. They were rich and famous, but somehow all members of the band at the time were depressed and unhappy. Thus the line "Have you ever seen the rain, coming down on a sunny day." The band split in October the following year after the release of the album Mardi Gras.
