My autumns in Zion with Daddy and brother John 2008-2012 |
Autumn has blown in
And I'm back home after our
Deployment to Kingstree, South Carolina,
A town still reeling from the
Destruction of the 1,000-year flood.
I was blessed to be a small part of the Christ In Action (CIA) team who
Traveled from near and far to
Bring hope to America's families in South Carolina.
Ready for action |
Now, back in my comfortable surroundings,
It all seems like a bad dream.
But the people who we left behind
Are still struggling with the
Reality of the horrendous waters
That raged through their homes.
When I know there are so many hurting people,
Sometimes I find it hard...
but I have to take a deep breath,
call a friend,
and laugh a little.
Friends are a wonderful gift.
Never take them for granted.
One of many piles...from molded walls to precious memories... |
This is my second deployment and
Hopefully not my last.
The memories and my feelings are difficult to put into words
So I will simply ask you,
My readers, my friends,
To continue to pray for the families who are in need.
Thank you.
My favorite pastime ... laughing! |
For pictures of the Kingstree, South Carolina flood, go to
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow you...
Isaiah 43:2
I wish you oceans of blessings for the
Thanksgiving Season
