Praise the Lord, Hurricane Matthew is departing our area and the seas are calming back down. Thanks for all the prayers. Our Haitian and Bahamian friends need much prayer as they try to rebuild their lives.

Tonight the effects of Hurricane Matthew are causing rain and fairly gusty winds here in Central Florida. So far, Matthew is staying to the east of us, but not by much. (We just got word that it is finally shifting to the east a tad, which is good for us.) Though the Snowy Egrets will still be having a “flying feather” night. Praying for all of those people along the shore as the hurricane scrapes the coast, during tonight and into early morning. Your prayers are always welcomed.
