I May Be Silent for a Few Days

I wanted to let you know that we haven't fallen off the face of the earth.  Hopefully, we will be back in contact soon.  Hurricane Laura will be visiting us, making landfall in the early morning hours of Thursday.

If projections hold, we'll be affected.  I'm not worried so much about the water, but the wind concerns me.  We're protecting things as best we can.  I have a job that keeps me away from home, especially in dire weather situations.  Benjamin helped Tricia move the baby chicks in the garage to safety and helped her batten down the hatches.

We'll likely be out of power for a while, so I will post as soon as I can.  We will be praying and I covet your prayers for all in the way of this storm.  Reminds me of this:

Matthew 8:24-27

24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. 25 And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing!” 26 He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm. 27 The men were amazed, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Regardless the outcome, we place our trust in Him.  He is the Master of the Sea.  In this world, we are never promised a life without calamity.  In fact, quite the opposite.  But He does promise never to leave us or forsake us.  And He'll help us weather whatever storm we're facing.
