After the Storm



Sunday afternoon we were hit with effects of the hurricane. We didn't have rain, just the wind. They got up to 80 miles an hour. While we were eating dinner we saw 3 trees split and blow right over at my in-law's home. These are some of things we saw on our way home.
Their roof blew off:
Trees were down on the electric line all down our back country road.
When we got home, we discovered a very messy yard.
We were out of electricity for three days. Of course, I loved pulling out the oil lamps...

The power of God's holiness and justice are like a great, violent hurricane, and the grace of God is like the eye of the hurricane where all is peace and calm. Grace is the center of God's reality. Grace, or love, is the essential calm at the center of the vortex of his infinite perfections. - John Piper
