For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.  Psalm 62:5-7

Along with many in this nation, I am heartbroken over the catastrophic loss of life in Texas due to flash flooding.  My sympathy goes to all who have lost a loved one, a family member, a friend.  I cannot imagine how parents feel sending their child to a summer camp, for this to happen. 

There are so many ways we can take this event, but for right now the best we can do is to keep all in prayer while looking for ways to respond.  Can we help?  Are there needs we can meet?  Are there ways to reach out to people affected?  If so, we should respond.  If not, for now, can we keep silent instead of playing the blame game (which started immediately from all sides of the political circus). 

For God alone my soul waits in silence.  My heart goes out to all involved in this situation, I am paying attention to any needs that can be filled and I lean on the mighty rock.

As you journey through this week, be attentive to how you can help in any situation, working for the good of all.

Peace,

Pastor Bill
