First came the rain

The rain was followed by rain, rain, and more rain. We were soaked this weekend, roads flooded some partly washed way and the rubble is everywhere today. A bit of sunshine and it feels normal again but we will be several days drying out.

The property to the west had been the sight of several abandoned houses. The whole property is up for development into townhouses and that require removal of the old houses. they started knocking them down Friday and found several "residents" had not moved on to other locations. These modern day squatters are homeless individuals who occupy condemned houses. Two came running out of the crawl space, narrowly escaping injury.

Several of our students have been trying to reach out to them over the last few weeks but they either are too high to talk to or are not interested. We will continue to pray for them as the neighborhood changes. Between CFNBC and the churches that hold meetings here on the weekend the hand of God is being extended to them. The witness is evident.

Shalom
