Hurricanes ...

Hurricane Gustav certainly proved to be an interesting hurricane for our state. I just read an article in an area paper that it had actually caused more wind and rain damage across the state than Katrina had done. Of course, the major damage from Katrina came from flooding because the levees didn't hold. There are still areas of our state without power, without sewer systems properly functioning, without adequate supplies of gasoline, etc. Here in Minden, most of our evacuees have headed home, even though some of them might not have returned to good situations. And now we are facing Ike! Sigh.

Mrs. Cindy, I came across your blog as I was leaving a comment on Breck's (she's still Sparkler to me) My heart hurts for her family and I'm praying for God's comfort for them. I see that you just started your blog and I'm excited to be able to check in with you - I didn't last long on Facebook (took up too much time) A blog has been better for sharing pictures and stories with the grandparents. :) I hope your family is doing well and I look forward to reading your "words of wisdom" Take care!
