Me: "No sir, I live over there (pointing to our street)."
PO: "Okay, are you sure you're okay? It's raining."
Me: "I couldn't sleep and love running in the rain, just making the best of it."

Out of my shameful failure and loss, Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come. Into the glorious gain of Thy cross, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out...

A month of giving thanks...
