Hurricane:
I sit here waiting. I am waiting on a huge hurricane that is bearing down on where I live. I sit in the cross hairs of this storm. Yet the power and strength that is in this storm are awe inspiring. One thing about a hurricane is that often it can change everything. Hurricanes have a power and majesty to them that makes everyone stop and take notice. I look about today at what is going on. The frantic bustle and constant pursuit of our own needs came to a stop today as we had to take notice of this storm. We had to react. I think God does this with us too. He can stop us in our tracks and make us take notice.
Though I am scared about the effects that Hurricane Ike will have on my community, hurricanes always seem to bring out the best in people as people are forced to help one another. The aftermath of such a storm seems to work as a magnet for people wanting to help others. One thing I have learned is that the goodness of God often comes through things we view as bad or through intense times of trial.
