today's piece deals with being who we are called to be, both in real life and online.
So today, pray for those who are either recovering from Harvey or still weathering its effects. The rain from this storm is beyond anything anyone could have prepared to endure. Houston receives 51 inches of rain in a year, and received as much in a single weekend.
If you can give, right now what is needed is funding, to purchase cots, food, and basics. Once the water recedes, it will be more patchwork. I'm talking to a friend who works with a large charitable organization and she's promised to let me know what they need, once they've done an assessment. She admits, right now assessment alone is overwhelming.
There are a slew of good articles out there about what people don't need like this one here. My fellow writer, Mark Shea did the hard work for you and came up with a linked list of agencies providing relief. So if you're looking for ways to help Texas, you can go here.
The big issue of this storm is rain. Water gets into everything, and you have to redo everything to make it home again. So pray for everyone who is in the path, and hope the rain ends soon.
Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always trying to be warmth and light, focuses on parenting, and the unique struggles of raising a large Catholic family in the modern age. Updates on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday...and sometimes more!
