It's not over until all the lights are on!

We survived with little damage. We threw away hundreds of dollars worth of food from our refrigerator and freezer. That was a bit painful but nothing compared to what others have suffered because of this storm. We were without power from Saturday morning at 5 a.m. until Wednesday. We were praising God for the cool weather.

I am sad tonight for the damage done to my "happy place", Galveston.

I'm sad for families that lost so much and for families that still have no power or water.
Pray for these families!


This is a tree in our front yard that was leaning toward our house right after the storm. Though the tree didn't fall during the storm, the roots began to lift out of the ground and the tree leaned a bit more toward our house. God is gracious.


This is the same tree on Sunday. With a little help from our friends, the tree was brought down without damaging our house. Those guys were amazing!


This is our grandson, Solomon, standing on our playground. A large tree on the side of our house fell during the storm right in the middle of the playground. It damaged our Rainbow playset but didn't touch the house. Amazing!
