Hurricanes and high winds

An edited post:

If you are seeing this post, it is because Hurricane Irma did a number on the power grid in my area. We're preparing for the coming storm, and I fully expect that where we live, there will be trees downed and lines on the ground for a while.

Hurricanes are a tremendous force, and our trees here are in "full canopy" with gorgeous racks of leaves that make their branches quite heavy. Those heavy tops can make the trees topple when the ground is saturated with rain, and the wind is howling.

I'm scheduling this, but I hope you won't see it! Hopefully, I will be able to post our studies as usual. But if I'm not here, please join me in prayer for our first responders and our power grid teams, as they struggle to restore power and sustain life in hurricane-torn areas.

Pray for the restoration of Texas, and then for this newest devastation in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. As I'm writing, it looks like the storm will track straight through here.

Blessings to all, and prayers for safety.

Praise the Lord! South Carolina was spared the full force of the storm! I hope you will bear with me, as I did not have the opportunity to prepare a post for today....much of our time lately has been spent on our quarter-mile of driveway, our barns, sheds, and house, preparing for rain and high winds.

We now have the best run-off ditches and the best repairs that we've had in years..... (Grin)

But we also have had little time for anything else.... I will rejoin you shortly. 

Please do pray for all of those who were in the storm's path.
