Hurricane Gustav

Do you know even though there was a hurricane heading straight for us that church still had the 5th Sunday Singing and the anniversary party for the pastor and his wife? Can you believe it!? How can people eat, drink, and be merry when we are fixing to be torn to shreds by Gustav? Prayer and faith in God, I say run and take cover trusting I have done enough preparation to keep myself safe. I am sure God understands that I missed church so I could sit in my easy chair watching the news reporter repeat over and over again for hours the five minutes worth of estimated information they have of the expected damage Gustav will leave when it comes across Louisiana. Who has time to pray with all the worry that comes with bad weather approaching? These are the same people that will trust God and look at the positive through it all, even if they lose power, trees and limbs fall in their yard, or they have to go out to help others in need. Well, I for one will be mad, for I am a Christian and I ought to be exempt from trials and tribulations. Hurricanes are to whip the heathen in line, not to bother us saved folk. Well, good thing I have the number to the church and my deacon. I’m sure not going to get out there and pick up the debris in my yard, I’ll let one of them or some of the Youth come do it. Well, I am a member of the church even though I can’t make it most Sundays, and true I didn’t vote for him, but he is my deacon so I might as well use him. As for the Youth, it will be good to help the elderly, we don’t want them growing up running from church work now do we.
