There is a hand veiled by the clouds and a voice veiled by the storm that cuts through their constricting folds... with a gentle peace.
The world looks, and wonders. Someone is holding the storm in the palm of his hand, holding it, and reaching out a gentle hand... for the world to hold.
Jesus waits, beyond, within, and before the storm. The air grows still and light. The sky sheds its dark clouds like a widow her raiment of mourning. Day has come again. Light and life have overcome.
-Written last evening, in the calm before the storm. We are still waiting... watching the weather reports and the sky... and waiting.

Oh dear-I hope you all are safe!! I have been worried about y'all...be careful. Ike is pretty huge and nasty--can you believe it?-the size of Texas!! That's a pretty big hurricane.. =0
Keep me posted-don't let me think something happened to y'all because you aren't keeping up with me..;-)
much love,
Jolie
It looks like it's calming down. It hasn't really done anything here. Just normal wind and rain... We'll see.:) I don't really think anything much will happen despite all that has been predicted. It's down to a Category 1 storm.
Love you!!!
Emma
I'm glad it's turning into a not-so-terrible storm for you after all!
Beautiful, beautiful pic by Johanna...again! ☺
All of her photos...and all of your lovely writing only makes me wish more and more that I could meet you two.
*sigh*
How is it possible to "miss" someone you've never even met? *chuckle*

Praise the Lord!!! I'm glad you all are alright. I'm so glad God is in control and not the weatherman!
Miss you girls!
Hi everyone!
Thank you for your concern. The day of the storm was actually very humid, and windy. We spent all afternoon outside waiting for the storm to approach. It finally came in gusts of wind and a lot of slanting rain, but it was too exciting to stay indoors for! Sam actually rallied me to walk outside with a blue umbrella while he filmed me. Quite fun and exciting actually! =) No damage was done, however we did hear of some fallen trees and shingles in a town an hour away.
Sarah, AMEN!!! =) We miss you too!!!
