HURRICANES!!!!!

Mike and I have had quite a long day and it looks as though it will only get longer. We caught an EARLY flight to Orlando this morning from Dallas. I am talking like we have been up since 3:45am. We arrived safely about 10:30am after much concern from those who knew we were traveling into Hurricane country. My response was, "No one mentioned to us back in May when we bought our tickets that there was going to be a Hurricane on the 13th of August and we shouldn't travel." Anyway, after arriving we went to lunch with Mike's family we made a quick stop at Wal-Mart (along with half of Florida) to pick up a set of Domino's and then on to the Grocery store (where the other half of Florida was). We are now planted in front of the TV with one eye on the sky waiting for this dreaded storm. We have stocked up on food and games to last us several days just in case we lose power and such. So far it has been pretty exciting. Growing up in Oklahoma we only experienced tornados and you didn't get much warning with those. It's looking like the hurricane is coming ashore in an unexpected areas, so pray for those who are unprepared and in the path of this storm. While it is not quite the vacation we expected, we are looking forward to enjoying some family game time and just being together.

Lord, please protect those who are in the path of this storm. Please give wisdom to those who are in danger to make wise decisions and keep their safety the first priority. Lord, protect and provide for those who suffer loss as a result of this hurricane.

Please be careful! I know how you feel about keeping your travel plans ~ I wouldn't have changed mine either...Have a wonderful vacation (even if it's not exactly what you thought it would be) and enjoy the family time. :)
God, please be with everyone who has been touched by the hurricanes. Help them to be safe, secure, and to lean on You in times of tragedy, and every day.
