Hurricane Ike

[dbhost]

God has been so gracious to my extended family and myself. We live in harms way of Hurricane Ike, and nobody was harmed. My brother in Law, who owns a vacation property in Seabrook Texas right across the bridge from Kemah, only suffered a broken tree, I lost a fence, a broken tree, some minor roof damage, and an electrical problem. FAR less damage than Hurricane Rita, which didn't even come close hit me with.

The time away from home was useful to bring my wife and myself closer together as well...

Tomorrow morning the chain saw work begins...

My friends and family have asked what they can be praying for, I tell them for God to be somehow glorified through this terrible storm...

I hear ya! We got hit with the tail end of Ike and winds for us got up to 80 mph. Aside from loosing electricity, our home and family are all fine! During our power outage I was reflecting on how our lives our so connected to electricity and cable and the internet and talking to friends on the phone. Its just amazing when you don't have those luxuries how lost we all feel. That really gave me pause for thought that as for me and my family we need to work on diminishing the dependency for all the technology around us.
