My Home Getting Hit

As we wait for the eye to move ashore, we pray. I talked with my cousin Mike in Houston, and he said that yesterday morning they were not able to leave Houston because the traffic was at a standstill. I thank God that the storm is not headed straight toward Houston any longer, but the bad news is that it is headed straight to the region where I grew up. The Piney Woods of Texas is getting inundated with torrents of rain and wind. I pray that God will keep many of our friends and family there safe.

My home Abilene (more than a six hour trip from Houston), is filled with evacuees. Every hotel in town is full. Many churches are full, and every shelter in town is filling to capacity. The State of Texas has been very gracious to receive and help evacuees from areas hit by the two hurricanes. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus.
