We were originally in the path of Florence. But later they said no, it was going to go toward the west and through Bristol, Tenn. and bypass us.
But as the hurricane stalled over the Carolinas, they changed the route again, back to the original path, coming our way.
We braced for it again. Lots of rain, some flooding, some evacuation, but not very bad, thankfully.
By the way, I prayed that it would not be too devastating. But praying like that is like two football teams praying before a game. If ones prays that they will win, then they are praying, by virtue of only 2 teams, that the other team will lose. So how can God answer that?
So its similar in preparation for a cataclysmic weather event. How does one pray in such a situation? I prayed that since I was prepared for whatever comes, that I would be able to help someone else. For example, my friend who is on oxygen, needs to have a backup plan in case she looses power, so I will call her next time and see if I can help her with my generator to recharge her setup. I can leave my generator on my pickup bed, run my long chord to her power supply, recharge it, and she will be back in business.
As I thought of this, I felt much better about my prayers.
