On Hurricanes And Power Outages
Rmj waxes lyrical and philosophical on hurricanes and power outages here, here, and here, or anywhere in his recent posts at Adventus. He endured the ravages of Hurricane Ike and its aftermath, and is still without power, except for a cable connected to a neighbor's generator. Lyrical and philosophical on hurricanes and power outages, for crying out loud! After reading his posts, I doubt that I'll ever write about either of those subjects again.
Rmj writes well and is so learned that I'm a tad jealous of him, and I can't resist poking a bit of fun at him over his post titled Is This All There Is?, written just before Ike had arrived in Houston.
UPDATE: Rmj has power now.
Power is back!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, there is a risk to live blogging a hurricane and then going to bed before it gets inland.
and "lyrical"? You are too kind, Grandmere.
Hooray
ReplyDeleteI know I'm too kind, Robert. That's just the way I am.
According to the Houston Chronicle, around 50,000 CenterPoint customers remain without power. This was just updated late yesterday - and is the first time the number without power has fallen below 6 figures.
ReplyDeleteThe Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod is hosting a work day in Galveston on Saturday, and I am bringing a group from Brenham. Prayers appreciated.
God bless you and your group, Pastor David. I'm pleased to offer prayers for your work day.
ReplyDeleteA group from our church had scheduled a work day in New Orleans the Saturday before Gustav landed. Needless to say, we never got there.
