And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.   1 Kings 18:44, 45 


Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.   Psalm 147:8

And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

  Comments and Quotes  

When I was little, it never would have occurred to me to draw a picture with clouds in the sky that looked like stripes and streaks, because they didn't. How often do we see big puffy clouds now? The only kind I ever used to draw. Hardly ever. They're all spray-on. - Amber Salvati - 29
