Our thoughts and humble prayers
 go out to all the victims and their next of kin
in
Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida 
and to all those who have opened their homes to these refugees.

Our prayers are with you.

God Bless All

Within natures worst fight

I cling to my children,
I cling to my wife
God, I am thankful that we still have life.
And for the angel that saved
us from this plight
For everything has been destroyed there before my sight

There in the park,
where once our children sang
and ran free
The only thing that is left standing
is a beautiful oak tree
The mighty storm is finished,
yes it is over and done
But, yet this mighty oak stands glistening
in the new days sun

Could this possibly be a sign from God,
that all will be well
That we can band together,
rebuild from this hell
Can we gain the needed strength,
like this mighty tree
Through the worse of the storm,
he stood unbending and free

I look out to the horizon,
and say  a few words of prayer
I thank you God,
for the lives you did spare
As we stand here together,
within natures worst fight
We shall band together,
from this devastation, and make it right

It will take quite a bit,
oh yes, so much indeed
But, with God's help…
We will rebuild,
and plant a new seed
