Gustav

First of all, I would like to start out by saying, that is a great name for a hurricane. Anyways, so this last Sunday in church, somebody brought up the need to pray for the people in New Orleans because of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Gustav. So Mr. Wells asked one of the nice old men in our church to pray for those people. This nice old man stood up and prayed for a safe evacuation and that the damage wouldn't be too bad. The whole time I was supposed to be agreeing in prayer I was thinking, "Wait a second! We are praying to the God of the Universe, why don't we just pray that the hurricane miss New Orleans. He can do it you know!" So, I turned to Kenny and Daniel after service and brought this up and they said I should pray for that so I did. The next morning, my dad turned on the news and it said that Gustav had missed New Orleans and even though flooding was still a concern, it was down to a Category 1 storm. Now, even if the storm had hit, isn't it good to know that God could stop it or reroute it if he chose. Or that God knows each person that will be personally effected by a store like this. God is Good all the time.
