Water Shortage and Busy bodies

Franklin is currently going through a drought which has caused a strain on the infrastructure as far as draining the storage tanks to dangerous levels. Mainly the concern is that there would not be enough water pressure to fight a fire.

My church built its building in 2001 and as a part of that had to install over $350,000.00 worth of landscaping to satisfy the City of Franklin. As a part of my job I instructed the builder to sink a well on the property to supply the irrigation system that would keep our investment alive when the City of Franklin ran out of water. Thank God we did.

We are now in one of the worst dry spells ever and the city has banned all watering of plants, among other things. So we would now be looking out our windows watching the lawn and plants and trees burn up in front of us.

The really interesting thing is that ALL summer I have had signs placed in the yard saying the we were irrigating from a well. So far we have had 5 people turn us in for watering during the ban, with one idiot criticising for watering our plants at all and one telling us we were not doing it right.

I think that this shows at least two things:

1. They are jealous that they didn't put in a well.
2. Some people just like to cause other people grief.

God loves them both and so do I...after all I am an idiot too a lot of the time.


PRAY FOR RAIN!!!
