We interupt this regularly scheduled blog post...

I've been following the news of the utter and complete devastation in the southeast following Hurricane Helene.

Folks, this is about as bad as it gets. People are hurting. In addition to prayers, please consider donating to Samaritan's Purse or other charitable organization of your choice to help relieve some of the agony.

Prayers for Florida

I've been reading the alarming predictions about the strength and potential consequences of Hurricane Ian as it approaches landfall in Florida.

Please pray for those in its path.

Meanwhile if you're in the affected areas, please check in with updates (if possible) for those of us who are concerned.

Oh no, not another hurricane...

It's becoming chillingly familiar:

Yet another natural disaster is targeting the weary and hard-hit people on the southern and southeastern coasts.

I get email updates from Lisa Bedford (the Survival Mom), and this morning I received this: A Round-Up of Hurricane Survival Resources.

And it occurred to me, not for the first time, the dedication and effort of this woman to help people prepare themselves for life's cataclysmic uncertainties.

If you're in the possible path of Hurricane Nate, please please take advantage of Lisa's recommendations.

Hurricane Matthew

For readers in the path of Hurricane Matthew, stay safe! Please check in and let us know you're all right.
