The Evening Of Hurricane Ike
Hurricane Ike is coming closer and closer. I took this photo this evening and I can’t express enough how absolutely beautiful and yet strangely surreal it was outside. The sound of the wind and the beauty of the sky was truly remarkable…as well as humbling. I know what is coming. It makes the beauty that I have seen tonight all the more aweinspiring - for often, it seems to be the way life works. After beauty comes the withering away, only for something just as beautiful to blossom once again.
Please keep us in your prayers. We have prepared as best as we can. We are very concerned about the many tall trees we have here in The Woodlands, Texas and we are all sleeping downstairs tonight in an area of the house that we feel will be the safest.
We are about 75 miles north of Galveston and, as I am typing this, I hear the storm getting much louder outside. I stepped out for a moment and I could barely shut the door. It will be a long night and I am hoping my children will be able to sleep through it.
