Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
Last night Ike the hurricane came ashore at Galveston, Texas. The storm surge was 13.5 feet. For those who are unfamiliar with these types of storms, the wall of water pushed by the wind was just that, 13.5 feet tall. 200 miles to the East, the storm surge was seven feet. Ike is a huge storm. 12 hours after land fall, the wind is still blowing here. Mother Nature is so huge and it make us look so small. There is absoutely nothing that anyone can do to stop her. We are totally helpless. The only thing that we can do is prepare the best we can and have faith. We cannot pick a fight with Mother Nature--we'll lose--everytime. My prayers are with all of the victims of this storm. The news said that ther are about 3 million without power. I pray for their strength and sense of community. We should all do the same. These events are always a reality check.
