If you're anywhere in the northeast, then you've no doubt been deluged with more rain than you can stand. It seems like it's been raining here for two weeks straight.
It hasn't. But between Hurricane Irene's effects and the dumping we're getting from Tropical Storm Lee, there is no where left for the water to go.
There hasn't been much flooding around here, but friends and family in Pennsylvania are now evacuating their homes and businesses. Stephen's grandfather's family home lies in the flood plain near the Susquehanna River and was badly flooded during Hurricane Agnes in 1972. His aunt and uncle as well as our tenants were evacuated this morning, along with 100,000+ other residents in the area.
While praying that all will be kept safe from the rising waters, I'm praying too that God will use this frightening experience to draw sinners to Himself -- the only shelter in the time of storm.
