As I am writing this blog, our house rocked with 2 large “booms”, the Space Shuttle Atlantis just passed directly overhead and is touching down at Kennedy Space Center Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) at this very moment! This is the last flight of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. FAREWELL ATLANTIS! It’s kind of neat living here on the “Space Coast”. Oh well, I just thought I’d share that little bit of history with you this morning. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking and Hurricane Season is about to begin in 6 days! It is difficult to explain what many of these tent-cities / hovels / slums look like. I simply want to tell you about one item common to them all – old, rusty fragments of tin roofs. Just imagine 100 – 150 mph winds “propelling” these objects through the air. It’s not a pretty picture. Take a look at the Satellite Image below captured moments ago. Storms are brewing nearly everyday now. Anyone of them could develop into a massive “killing machine”. 

PLEASE BEAR WITH ME ON THIS! I know that when you read this blog, often, I present pretty overwhelming situations, i.e. 1.3 million people living out doors in a “hurricane mine field”. I do this to encourage to pray and don’t forget our brothers and sisters in our own back yard! Please, stick with me on this and continue to pray. Your prayers are more powerful then you realize. Our Heavenly Father hears our cry for the widow and the orphans and the “least of these” among us. If we have the technology to launch and fly the Space Shuttle for nearly 30 years and send men to the moon and so many other wonderful accomplishments, we have the ability to help these precious folks. Please forgive me for going on and on about this, it’s just in my heart. I also know that it is in the heart of Jesus! As I always say,

THANK YOU for reading this little blog and above all, thank you for PRAYING!!
