Sandy

well....our refrigerators are stocked, bathtubs are filled with water, the generator is on standby and we are fully supplied with batteries for our flashlights and lanterns....thank you dad :).  Now we wait.  And hope for the best.  I must say it is slightly unnerving for this land-locked Ohio native to be sitting right in the center of the path of a hurricane.  My first experience was last fall with Hurricane Irene, but that didn't seem to compare in size to this one.  So we give it to God....as He calls us to do.  For reasons we don't understand he is allowing this storm to occur.  As I wrote a few posts back, we trust Him and His purposes.  Thank you to all who have been checking in on us and praying for our safety.  We are so thankful for a warm and sturdy home where we can be safe from this storm.  The lights just flashed a few times so power may be on the way out.  That's my cue to wrap this up I suppose.  :)  Praying for safety and protection for everyone on the East Coast.
