So much to be thankful for around here! And, thanks to all of you for your comforting comments.
I went outside to look at the sky this morning. After a storm, it's as if the world is brand-new. The sky is clear without clouds and as blue as can be.
I'm scheduled to go to a pastor's retreat up North of here for three days beginning this afternoon. I'm assuming it will be held although the Northern part of the state got heavier winds than we did from the storm. If I go, you will get a break from me until Wednesday.
Our children must think that we are nuts to get worked-up about hurricanes. The last two threats were only that, nothing happened. We evacuated last year than ate Grace's Solidarity Cake through this one. Saturday late afternoon, LS played tennis for several hours. LD text-messaged her 180 closest friends and talked on her phone. No big deal.
The Lord be with you.

And also with you.
So glad, so glad. Ordinary, no-big-deal is a good thing, eh?
Oh, I'm so glad you were out of the line of fire. Thought and prayed for you (Denis made it onto the UK news on Saturday night and I felt so involved, thinking of you and yours) and do, truly, appreciate how fortunate we are that such storms are almost unheard of here.
Hope your conference is rewarding/stimulating, if you go.
I am so glad that you are safe. Isn't it just such a wonderful thing to know that all of your friends whose faces that you might not even recognize were holding you up in prayer?!?!
So happy to hear everything is good with you and yours there in the Backwater. Phew!
And also with you.
...I baked a blueberry pie in solidarity with you - we too use baked goods to cure all ills, psychic, physical, and financial...
Seriously, we are so glad you're all OK and Dennis passed you by. Have a wonderful time at the conference. Ministry can sometimes be a very lonely business; being able to get together with colleagues and let one's hair down is a necessary and healing thing.
Whew! Glad Dennis more or less missed you. Hope the conference is relaxing.

Thanks be to God.
Got any chocolate cake left??
I think there's one piece of our Solidarity Cake left, but it won't be for long!
Hope the retreat is wonderful!
Really glad all is well. Geeze, I could really use some cake.
What a relief. Glad everything is okay.
