Hunkering Down
Maddie is a little wild-eyed today. I think she knows Hurricane Ike is coming.
It's 10:30 here. They're saying the 'big wind' is coming around 4:30 in the morning. I'm thinking that I might wake up to find some tree limbs in the swimming pool and green leaves carpeting the ground. I suppose there could be some serious damage, but I'm praying it's minimal.
Praying for friends to be safe and sound. Praying for the water to drain off quickly. Praying for the hospitals to keep power. Just hoping good things for folks.
I'll miss you guys if the power is down a bit. I'll be back when the power is back.
“The wise man in the storm prays to God, not for safety from danger, but deliverance from fear” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
