A Storm of Soft Hugs

It's Hurricane Season in Savannah

S - SCRIPTURE

If you live on the coast then you know when hurricane season hits, it’s time to stock up and get ready. Don’t leave anything to the last minute. You can prepare for the storms of life as well. Here’s a piece I wrote.

O - OASIS

The sun has been shining for maybe 4 days now, but the rivers are still rising! My pastor’s neighborhood is completely underwater, EXCEPT for his house. They have become the staging ground for rescue and provisions. Here’s the “Oasis” -their front yard.
