Glad your family is safe Shane!

That brings back some bad memories.. hurricanes Andrew, Ivan, Katrina, Frances, Charley, Wilma....it will be nice when we get to heaven and dont have to worry about anything blowing our house down.....


Hope everything turns out alright Shane, and we will keep you in our prayers...

We returned home yesterday. There was still water in the street but we could see our lawn again. There was about 4" of water in the street when I went to work this morning and it was all gone when I came home. The septic tank is full and the ground is too wet to get a truck back there to pump it out. I opened a clean out and am just letting our waste water run on the ground. We have a camping, portable toilet we are using so that we don't send any human waste down the drain. Our tap water isn't safe to drink without boiling it first so we are drinking bottled water. The National Guard has been bringing hot meals and water out to all of us in this subdivision twice a day. Today may have been the last day since the streets are dry now.

Praise the Lord!

I'm so sorry about these disasters. All I can say is people need to be ready to meet their Maker. Death is right around the corner in one form or another.

2 Cor. 5:6 Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
5:8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

To be absent from the body is to be ready for death at any time. I know that's a new one for some, but that's what it means.
