I'm SOO glad your house didn't end up with a tree on it or something! <BR/><BR/>It's devastating, but at the same time, still a powerful reminder of God's awesome might and the wonder of creation. <BR/><BR/>I like the comment someone made about God being our strong tower.. Of course, that could have something to do with Strong Tower by Kutless being one of my all time favorite songs. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-59811512838030097912008-09-18T09:06:00.000-05:002008-09-18T09:06:00.000-05:00Wow!

Our neighborhood is fairly new and it was built right after Hurricanes Katrina & Rita. The developers delibrately cut down all the big trees from the front yards and a good bit of hte back yards. We live next to an empty lot full of pine trees and that's where some of our damage came from. Will you ever stay through another hurricane?? :)The Apron Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397385130751028674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-19717241726157516402008-09-17T14:02:00.000-05:002008-09-17T14:02:00.000-05:00Wow.
