Monday Morning Coffee Chat

Hope everyone is enjoying  a wonderful Labor Day!


What About Labor Day?



More from Hurricane Harvey

Knowing the bible is one thing,
Knowing the author is another.

Something to Think About!

Calm me, O Lord, as You stilled the storm,
Still me, O Lord, keep me from harm.

Today's Scripture:

Matthew 7:7-8

Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

God always answers;
Sometimes He says yes,
Sometimes He says no,
And sometimes He says wait.

Today's Quote:

John Piper: “Life is hard. God is good. Glory is coming. Therefore, stand firm in his grace. Rejoice in hope, fill your life with good deeds, and show the world that God is gloriously satisfying.”


Family News:

Still no baby!!  If she doesn't deliver before 7:30 Tuesday morning the doctor is going to induce labor.

Look back and thank God,
Look forward and trust God.

Until Next Time
Live Life Joyously

  1. Wow, you really put the spotlight on just how difficult evacuation would have been. That is a tremendous number of people living in the area.

  4. Great post on Texas and our problems there. They are "our" problems as a people.
    Our prayers and help are vital now.

  5. I totally understood the reason you couldn't evaluate. News people sometimes have no clue. Leaving is not easy even in areas not nearly that populated. You would have to leave now for Irma and it might not even come your way. Most have to work so they can't leave this early. I remember leaving for Opal back in 1995. We go nowhere and had to call people to stay with. They were gracious to put us up. It was not like they were even our really good friends. They were saying to people on all the jam packed roads.... get off the roads now. I kind of swore I would never leave again. It is a difficult decision.
    Been thinking of y'all.
    Hope that baby is born soon.

  6. Last time they tried to evacuate the Houston area people were on the roads for hours and hours, bumper to bumper traffic on all roads out of the area. So many still on the road during the storm, stranded and out of gas. It was terrible. Mr D and I were retired and left days early heading north, even then there was a lot of traffic. When you live in this area you are pretty much stranded, but it's where we were born and raised, it's where we made a living and raised our family. We've talked of moving but it's so hard to leave your home, at least it is for us. So we live and love and realize our decision to live here puts us in harms way with these storms.
