~~~~~At a loss for a title, but you need to read this!~~~~~

My frustrations were growing. The flood waters were not threatening my house, but the ways out of my rural setting were being ruled out as fast as I could think them up.

Then, I met my neighbor on the road...she shared the news. Her co-worker at the nursing home rounded a turn in the pre-dawn darkness while driving to work and plunged into six feet of water...just a few miles from my house.

She managed to get her two year old out before the car sank, but the current was too great and little Kate was swept away.

Suddenly, my frustrations seemed insignificant. So what if I didn't get on the road at the time I had planned. So what if I arrive late and don't have time to check into the hotel before the wedding rehearsal.

Please pray for Kate's mom Heather and Heather's boyfriend Shane. Shane grew up in the church I pastored for 14 years. I cant sleep. It's 4 AM. While I'm attending a wedding later today, they will be planning a funeral...

One life will soon be passed, only what's done for Christ will last!

I am at a loss for words.

Lord, you know how much despair, hurt and loss this family is experiencing now, I pray that You hold them close, now and on the long painful road ahead. Make Your presence felt Lord.

Lord, please also give Busykydad the courage and your overwhelming peace to carry him through this day. Amen

Hi there, just had to pop in to say hi.
