Can't Be June without Humidity & Showers...

This is my 42nd summer here in NOLA and I do remember several fronts pushing off out coast during June.   However, I remember behind the front in the drier air we had near record heat,  Not this week as several surges of dry air will lower dewpoints from the mid to upper 70s into the 50s & 60s.  That's really good feeling air for summer.  Sure it will still be hot during the day 85-90, but those low dewpoints will allow the nights to fall into the 50s & 60s on the North Shore and away from the Lake south.  Because of the warm water temps (near 90) in Lake P., the South Shore will stay in the 70s.  But we should enjoy a stretch of dry, mostly sunny weather that lasts all week.  There could be a stray shower as the second surge of drier air pushes through but chances are slim to none.  The only thing we'll need to watch is having a front push into the Gulf and something spins up on the frontal boundary (Alicia 1983).  None of the models show that happening.  Stay tuned!

Several Months ago I asked you to open up your prayer lines for my brother-in-law Jerry.  He was diagnosed with a stage 4 brain tumor (inoperable) and given a 3-5% chance for survival IF the experimental chemo drugs worked in reducing the tumor.  I was humbled by your response as over 80,000+ people clicked on my blog site saying prayers for Jerry.  Well we need to open up those prayer lines again as Jerry's most recent MRI says the tumor has grown slightly.  His body has struggled with the chemo drugs and he remains very weak.   It seems appropriate on this Pentecost Sunday that I'm asking for your prayers to the Spirit to send Jerry healing/shrinking of the tumor if it is the Father's Will.   In addition, I'm asking for the Spirit to send Susan, Brenda & all his/her families & caregivers strength, courage, patience & trust.   We don't need 80,000 people praying for Jerry.  We need 80K times 8. (I remember in the Bible 70 times 7)  Jerry needs a miracle.  Do you believe in miracles?   I do, and if enough of us pray to the Father asking his Son and Holy Spirit for healing, it could happen.  Jerry is not ready to quit.  He's a spiritual man, a man of integrity, kindness & generosity.  A true Gentle Man.  C'mon Gang.  Let's try for that miracle.  Jerry really needs us now!
