Nobody can say I did not warn the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, for all the good my warning did. I am not one to say, "I told you so," but "I told you so."

I am duped if I do not and doped if I do. How is a husband to win with
the odds so stacked against him? 

With a feigned meekness that would make St. Francis of Assisi envious, I
said what all good husbands say under similar conditions, "Yes, Dear." 

The next three hours found me outside, vigorously washing Old Nelly. As
I washed her, I could feel someone (I am not mentioning any names) 
watching from our living room window. 

The smile on my face camouflaged the clenched teeth behind it. 

Just as I was putting the finishing touches on the wax job, I felt
something cold on the back of my neck. At first, being engrossed in my 
chore, I did not pay any attention to it. 

Then another - and another - and another. Then came the rain. 

I glanced at my freshly waxed car and saw drops of water cheerfully
dancing on my mirrored hood. 

The thunder sounded like a heavenly giggle and before I could make it to
the door, I was completely drenched. 

Ducking inside out of the rain, I was greeted by my wife who calmly
asked, "Oh, my. Is it raining?" 

"Of course it's raining," I shivered, "I've just washed my car." 

As I was drying off, I chuckled to myself as a favorite Bible verse came
to mind. 

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love
God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28 
KJV.) 

Two things in life are for certain. 

One: things will always fall apart. 

Two: God can always take those things that fall apart and pull them
together for His honor and glory - come rain or shine.
