Rainbow

We don't get much rain in Colorado, and yesterday we got very little so I was surprised when we went out to get the mail to see the rainbow over our neighbor's house. Maybe it's the procrastinator in me, but seeing the rainbow gives me a sense of peace. Joseph Smith prophesied that a rainbow meant the second coming would not occur that year (in addition to the promise of not flooding the earth that was given to Noah) and so when I see a rainbow I think "Shew....one more year. Or maybe 3 more months." But at least I have a little time to work on my spiritual progression.

For those who are curious, the Joseph Smith prophecy was referenced in The Work and the Glory volume 6 I believe. Gerald Lund had the source for it, I just can't remember off hand.
