What a Week!!

We live in South Jersey.  It is different than what most people think of Jersey.  Those outside the "Garden State" only know North Jersey.  We live in South Jersey and are proud of it!  We have small towns, farms, people who have lived in the same town their whole lives, (I say that in a good way) and friends who have known each other for years.  It is a great place to live and raise a family.  

What we don't have is EARTHQUAKES!  That is until last week.  Where were you when the ground shook?   But, by the end of the week that too was old news because we then had a HURRICANE with a TORNADO that touched down in a neighboring town.  Now we have people who had to evacuate and others who basements are flooded.  Some are still without electric and normal routes of travel are roadblocked and detoured.  What a Week!!

It will be nice to be back to normal, whatever that means.  Our prayers go out to those who are still suffering the consequences of this past week.  An old song I love has been coming to mind this week.
Through it, through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus, I've learned to Trust in God, Through it all, Through it all, I've learned to depend upon His Word.    

An even older song says,
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand!  

The storms come to everyone.  The difference is in the foundation.  What A Week to trust in God!
