Safe and Thankful

Praise You In This Storm by Casting Crowns
As I've mentioned before, I live in Florida.  I have not mentioned that I live on the East Coast of Florida, so Hurricane Matthew did brush us as a Category 4.  Thanks to prayers going up from Prayer Partners from around the world, Matthew's eye did not hit us directly, but remained slightly off shore.
We received some damage.  Minor in comparison to hurricanes weathered in the past.  We were very blessed.  None of the residences on the boy's home where I live sustained damage.  We did not lose power during the storm.  Some of the campus including me lost power around 10am Friday morning when a power line snapped though.  Pike was kind enough to seek permission from FPL to repair it, and we had power and internet again Saturday evening.  My family and I remained in the campus' shelter until after church Sunday, so that we had air and power the whole time.  We just didn't have time to move Saturday evening and make it to church Sunday morning.  Church definitely took priority!
"O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever."
I Chronicles 16:34
