A Resounding Success

A week ago Saturday, our disaster recovery exercise concluded a day and a half early. This time, it was a complete and utter success. Thank goodness. There was fervent prayer, effective planning, solid engineering and flawless execution.

Hurting

I am, mostly hurting, but I am having a bunch of mixed emotions today. A long-time friend posted on Facebook, last weekend, a story about her son and a serious motorcycle accident he had been in.
