People versus the Elements

Hurricane Ike has served to remind me how little control people really have.

Last night, I was able to witness a stunningly beautiful sunset. (This picture was taken last night at the Flying Ace Ranch, which is on Rock Prarie Road East, in College Station, Texas. )

This morning, I awoke to the sound of pelting rain and hurricane force winds.

The Houston area, East Texas, and so many others are dealing with flooding, downed trees, power outages, and potential tornadoes. It is humbling to realize that although we have figured out how to travel in space, we can not stop the weather. We can try to minimize damage, but we can not prevent the damage.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those who are affected by the devestation from the hurricane. Ialso pray for the safety of those who are still in Ike's path. Just remember, people are more important than things.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,.....For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Matthew 6:19-21
