Hurricane Harvey

Last Thursday Les and I went for a bike ride.  It was a little bit overcast and about 60 degrees at 7:00 a.m.  Perfection!


One week later, this morning at 5:00 a.m. it was as far from perfection as it gets. We have a wireless thermometer in our backyard that syncs with one in our bedroom.  I rubbed my eyes several times, sure that I was seeing incorrectly...


As much as I am not enjoying this heatwave, I am thankful to be safe and dry.  The pictures coming out of Texas this week have been so horrible.  I can't imagine what so many are going through. 


I've received several emails regarding giving to the victims of Hurricane Harvey.  There are many trustworthy companies that you can donate to.  Here are a few you may not be aware of (click the links to take you to the specific sites):

From now until Tuesday, ModSportswear will be donating $15 to Harvey victims every time an order is placed - donations will go to Compassion Services International.

Fleet Feet Sports stores all over the country are collecting new or gently-used shoes and new pairs of socks to donate to victims of the storm.

Modest clothing company, Jade MacKenzie Apparel, is based in Houston and is accepting donations on their website.

Bombas is a sock company that always donates a pair of socks to the homeless for every pair purchased.  They have already sent a donation to their partners at the Coalition for the Homeless in Houston.

Southwest Airlines is taking donations of Rapid Rewards Points to assist volunteers with travel expenses.

I'm sure there are many other ways to help, but these are a few of the unique ones that have come my way.  Please don't forget to pray for those who are suffering during this time.
