Ike, Neighbors, and Christ

Hey Men,
Please pray as we begin cleaning up after Ike. A man from FEMA called me regarding staging benevolence out of the church (I kindly passed him off to a real person who could actually do something at our church). We will be "all hands on deck" beginning Thursday. My family moved back to Houston tonight and are surveying the damage right now (Pray that All-State will actually honor their insurance. They are perhaps the worst company to deal with.). We are fortunately with electricity and water now...that is the only reason we journeyed back. Please pray for the Body of Christ to engage and serve the needs around us. I believe that this is such a chance to carry out the Great Commandment at a time of great need.
Thanks those of you who have been praying for us (and the families effected by Ike).
May God be glorified even now.
Blessings,
er

Gracious Father. By your love we are yours. By your grace we are saved. And by your mercy we are able to persevere. Bless those who are persevering in Texas in the wake of Ike. Give them strength and purpose and resolve. Reveal yourself to them in ways that they do not expect and be glorified. Praise to you for ER's safe return and minimal damage to his family home. And may you continue to be reflected in ER to those around him. Amen.
