Weather
If you are a regular for my weather forecast segments, you likely have heard me say that if you invite me to your event, you'll have fine weather. It always seems to work out when I say it. Of course, I wouldn't say it if I wasn't confident the forecast was for good weather. This past Sunday tested this claim.
My new nephew's baptism was scheduled for 12:30 Sunday afternoon in southern Rhode Island. My sister-in-law called the day before to ask if they should get a canopy. They'd have to rent one, so money was on the line. I told her it would rain overnight, but they would be fine for the baptism. With all the people coming, she was happy they could set up outside. Well, I awakened Sunday morning to rain. A.J. had said on the newscast Saturday night that everything was moving slower. On the way to Rhode Island, it poured. When we got to around Warwick, RI on I95, the fog took over along with some drizzle. Outwardly, I was confident... inside, not so much. When we arrived at the church at 12:30, it was still cloudy, but we had driven out of the fog. The rain had stopped. We left the church an hour later... still no rain. It held off for the entire event. A blessing for little David, or my self-proclaimed good luck invitation forecast? Either way, it all worked out.
I never had a doubt. Make sure you invite me to your events coming up. Enjoy this week. It will be beautiful.
