Hi Everyone: We just got our power back this morning and I'm praising the Lord. It has been an interesting week in the dark, stumbling around with flashlights and scrapping for water and ice. Actually we were blessed in that our kids got their power back before us so we could shower at their houses and they cooked the evening meal. Otherwise it was my husband and me at the kitchen table with one light and one 5" battery powered TV we borrowed from our daughter. The weather cooperated in that it was not oppresively hot during the daytime and it cooled off at night.
OTOH some are still without power and the profiteers are here selling generators worth $649 from the back of trucks for $900 cash and $1000 credit card. Ice that should be less than a dollar is selling for $2 a bag - also there was some looting of the houses of the people who evacuated with TV's and computers stolen but on the positive side some neighbors met the people next door for the first time and people were helping people. Red Cross and Salvation Army are providing meals and ice and we got water at the fire station. Someone we don't know loaned us a generator on Tues when he got his power back, he works with our daughter-in-law, so good Samaritans are still out there. Sam (no pun intended) is a redneck who doesn't know the Lord so I'm going to lay hands on that machine and ask the Lord to bless him before we send it back. Our God has been faithful, praise His name. Judy ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
