I’m relieved.  I thank YHWH my house wasn’t destroyed.   But their’s were.  I prayed the storm wouldn’t hit us, it clobbered them.  It’s good to have the right contacts with God, right?  We’re the ones who have all these rich ‘whites’ sending us money, really shouldn’t it have been us?  Am I any less of a sinner than them?  Ya, that must be it.  This was a category 4 storm just before it hit land - the same as Katrina that destroyed New Orleans, but with a big difference ours was only about 300 ks (180 miles) in diameter where Katrina was much bigger but the force was the same.  But I guess that’s just, these were just villages, New Orleans is a big city.  I knew from the start if this hit Kedesh we wouldn’t stand a chance it would be totally destroyed…I was worried… scared.  I stayed light hearted and made the reinforcing of plastic and bamboo ‘fun’ with the boys so they really wouldn’t understand the disaster that was looking at us. One worried and scared per house hold is enough.  After seeing on the internet, the dark red spot that was destroying everything in its path was going to miss us, I was enjoying breezy winds with the smell of rain in the air that was finally breaking the heat of the last days. Because this storm was so ‘small’ I was on the outer edges of it and could look south and see very dark looming clouds, blowing clouds of guilt in my mind knowing beyond my gaze people were being battered by 270 k (170m) winds.   I look at the trivial joke of fortifications that hoped to save our little tin roofed mud bamboo huts from the Power of Nature- that in the end we didn’t need.  I hear there are entire villages and towns that now don’t have homes, roofs and refuge from the storm.  Will I wake up tomorrow and have to read of the dead and homeless?  How will I find resolution in that for my prayers.  It’s good when God answers my prayers.  Who are the ‘whites’ that send them money?

I’m really glad people prayed for us, I am.  But I have another questions

Darfour…Sudan…Ethiopia.  Too many dark clouds comfortably away.

I just received a text from some one else who is relieved, it says ‘Don’t worry the high winds aren’t going to hit us, God bless you’

Ya God bless us.
