Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
I wanted to get all political today, but I can't as my heart is breaking following the devastation brought on by the flash floods in Texas... The loss of life and the number of families affected are mind numbing... I've always been one who thought "everything happens for a reason", but I'm having a difficult time reasoning this event... As someone who professes to be a Christian, I'm going to have to say that "God has a plan" and however difficult it is to accept we are subject to his will... Having grown up and still residing in Florida, we have hurricanes, but we have days upon days to prepare... As I watched the reporting this morning I and hopefully you as well am focusing my prayers toward those that are left behind having to endure the loss of loved ones and those brave men and women who are so desperately searching for survivors... The survivors are the ones whose time has not yet come, similar to the person who has a flat tire on the way to the airport and misses their flight ...
