I tried to post a picture from the porch of the comfy couch house so you could see it is very close to the water, however I was unable to do so. I am sure there is water all under the house but it was really high up so we are praying that it will be okay.
Thank you all for praying for all of our friends in Galveston and Houston. They are all very dear to us and we are watching this storm as if it were going to hit our own home. The hospital was pretty high up it seemed, we are hoping they don't have much damage there. However the newly built apartments that house many of the Mexican parents and children were not high up at all. If these are damaged, the Mexicans will now be without a place to stay. I can only hope and pray that these places will be spared and that their lives will not be turned upside-down again! Thank you so much for those of you who posted comments or sent emails saying that you checked the Shriner's website. I didn't have time to do that but I am so glad that you did and now I feel a little better knowing that they are safe.
It is so weird to watch the news and see all of the places that became so familiar to us during our 3 week stay there. The first hotel we stayed in with Annie was called Gaidos. Sp? It was right there on Seawall Blvd. It was NOT on stilts and I am sure the bottom floor will be well under water. The people who owned it were so great to us and we just hope that their damage will be minimal as well. To see the waves come over the seawall is quite amazing because we saw just how big that wall really is! It' s huge! Okay, I could go on and on because I feel like MY city is under attack, but there are real people who can claim it as "theirs" and tomorrow I think it will be a very sad day for them! PRAY!
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
