Blue In Texas

Not Alone Star State

Harvey is the wettest tropical hurricane on record in the United States. It has displaced more than 30,000 people and at it's peak leveled the town of Rockport, Texas. Catastrophic inland flooding is still ongoing in Houston and where the water has receded the clean-up is overwhelming.

Today we pray for south Texas, as well as those affected by the fires in Montana and the western United States.  As we consider all of those that will have to endure the powerful impact of incoming storm Irma we must remember that we are all in this together. 

A special shout-out to the Louisiana Cajun Navy; a group of volunteers, using private boats to assist in search and rescue efforts.

When it rains love pours.  The pots are on!
