9 days. 9 nights.

Ike came and took our electricity for 9 days and 9 nights.  He may have come to destroy us but instead we chose to relish in our Hurrication.

Ike helped me:

meet every one of my neighbors.

have a solid week of family time.

master my skip-bo game.

enjoy the romantic flicker of candlelight.

have long intimate conversations.

laugh a lot.

find beauty in the simple things of life.

gaze at the stars.

enjoy new life.

be quiet.

share food and drink.

reach out.

enjoy life.

I enjoyed so many wow moments over the last nine days.  I wish I could tell you all about them.  Let just rest in the fact that our God is strong and good.

are coming.

Most of the surrounding areas around us have lost power.  We will soon.  I was hoping for power lasting long enough to watch a movie or two.  I am such a dreamer.

So friends please pray for safety for all of us here in this massive city.  Going out now to watch the clouds roll.
