Water is patient, Adelaide. Water just waits. Wears down the cliff tops, the mountains. The whole of the world. Water always wins. (The 10th Doctor as played by David Tennant from Doctor Who).

Reporting In Hurricane Harms Way
I worked in television when I was in my 20’s and I understand what it takes to get the story like we are seeing from Florida. The journalists, correspondents, meteorologists and technical crews who are bringing these dramatic pictures from hurricanes like Harvey and Irma put their lives on the line to be sure people are informed and therefore safe. Sure these folks get a bad rap sometimes but when it comes to important stories like dangerous weather we should be grateful they are providing a vital public service. May every person covering this major weather event be safe.
A Prayer For Protection And Care
Creator of the universe you are a loving God who is there for your people in times of trouble and tragedy. May your children be comforted, calmed and secure in the coming storms. This storm is not of your hand but of a planet whose ecosystem needs balance and care. Be with those who will help the people who are in peril and need make it through.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayers.
Hurricane Irma
Hurricane Irma is on its way and will impact Florida and the southeastern states. I have friends in Florida who are riding it out and hoping for the best. I’m in Tennessee and we will get some of that weather early next week. There are other storms brewing in the Atlantic too so keeping watch is a routine thing these days. To everyone in the storms path be careful, be alert and remember that life is always the most important concern in times like this.
