10 Days Since Last Blog!
Where HAS the time gone? Maybe I can be forgiven since we've been through a full-scale hurricane evacuation since I last posted! After cancelling Bible study, and doing the best we could to prepare our house for the then-category 5 storm headed right for us, we left Wednesday night at midnight, headed for our daughter's house in Arlington, TX. That trip would normally take around 4 1/2 hours. But after 15 hours of GRUELING travel, we were only about 65 miles north of where we started. We ended up taking shelter at Montgomery United Methodist Church, along with about 50 other stranded motorists, most of whom spoke no English. The folks at MUMC did a TERRIFIC and GRACE-FILLED job of welcoming and housing us. It was great to be a United Methodist.

As I woke up Friday morning, I couldn't get over the irony that one week ago I was helping Katrina evacuees at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Now, I am one.

Tomorrow I leave for San Diego and a family wedding, and from there it's on to Paris, France with our Learning Ministry. I'll post again on this Disciple IV blog when I return.
