It is amazing how difficulties bring people together. One of the biggest and best examples in our lifetime was 9/11. It was a horrible tragedy, but it even impacted the unity of politicians in Congress, people in ministries, churches, etc.! Amazing. Kiki, my boys definitely never mind missing a shower or bath.

Sorry to hear that you guys have been going through all of that. As far as not having conveniences....I've discovered the power outage has provided a great opportunity for connection. Our neighborhood has really pulled together. The house behind us is not on a well. They became the supply source for the rest of us, even hooking several hoses together and running them up to my house so I didn't have to cart heavy pails of water by hand. The laundromat yesterday was also quite an opportunity. I got to know several ladies and the stories of their lives while we waiting for clothes to dry. What it's done is make people slow down enough to actually talk to each other. Plus....it's provided some great opportunities with my son. His love language is quality time, so he's gotten his cup filled with makeshift dinners and board games by candlelight. He's also okay with the limited number of showers. : ) We’ll be praying for Tara’s dad. Sorry to hear that you guys have been going through all of that.

True, you might be more prepared to deal with the hardships, but it is still hard on a family. I will pray for Terry that he would get the needed treatment, and for you guys these days as well. <em>Guy Muse's last blog post..<a href='http://guymuse.blogspot.com/2008/09/luther-on-house-churches.html' rel="nofollow">Luther on house churches</a></em> Having spent the day helping feed evacuees from Ike here in San Antonio, my heart goes out to you guys and all those who are having to deal with the disruption in their lives.

I thought about Tara's parents at church this morning but for some reason I didn't make the Houston connection (though if I had thought at all I would have). Will be praying! I cannot imagine what kind of weather was here...it was not any fun here.
