The Preservationist - David Maine

Thank you Lord for another day, the health to enjoy it, a labor to fill it and a home to return to at the end of it.
'And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights' - Genesis 7:12
For the last few days the rain has died back from fierce lashing to a steady light drizzle.
'The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountins which it covered'-Genesis 7:19
People would not have been noble or selfless in any way...
You can't hope for anything...You hope for things, you'll get hurt.
I feel something pushing up from inside of me, like a geyser. It takes a moment to recognize it: HOPE.
'And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days'-Genesis 7:24
'And the arc rested in the seventh month, the seventh and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains...'-Genesis 8:4
Lord, we have striven to uphold your calling.
'And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years'-Genesis 9:29
