Over here, Lord

Knowing how dry the land is across the Diocese, this morning is used the collect "for rain":

O God, in whom we live, and move, and have our being,
grant us sufficient rain,
so that, being supplied with what sustains us in this present life,
we may seek more confidently what sustains us for eternity.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the uinty of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Now word has reached me that it is raining in Effingham.  The sun is shining in Springfield.  I suppose in the future I need to be more specific in my request.
