Tropical Storm Katrina

Well. . .here we go again. As you may or may not know, Tropical Storm Katrina (expected to be a category 1 hurricane when it makes land fall) is headed for the coast of South Florida. Jonathan and I spent his lunch hour discussing our not so fond memories of last years hurricane season, when we were threatened by five named storms and hit by three. I was in my last trimester of pregnancy, so I was very large, unable to help with preparations or clean up, and quite grouchy as we waited for our power to be restored (one week the first time and three days the second time). I had to run to Walmart today for dog food and a few things we were out of, and it was a mad house. You would have thought that a category 5 storm was on its way. . . I guess everyone is just being cautious after last year. We had planned on taking our family vacation this weekend at the beach, however, our accommodations were not available for this weekend. I was disappointed at the beginning of the week. Now I am rejoicing in God's sovereignty. . .He knows better than us. But this is no surprise, He "counts the stars and He calls them all by name," "He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;. . .He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow" (Psalm 147:4,16, & 18) and "even the winds and the sea obey Him." (Matthew 8:27)
