Hurricane Dean has come and gone...

No matter what storm clouds may rock this ship of mine
The light of my Savior will lead me safely through the night
Though my ship may be rocking and my sails may be torn
I shall rest in the eye of the storm.

The above comes from a song by the name of 'Eye of the Storm' (ask me by whom--I haven't a clue >_<). This song occurred to me while I could hear the winds of Dean howling outside, and hearing the clatter of stuff on the road outside. incidentally you know it wasn't at all very bad where I was--only that two sheets of zinc tried to migrate without visas off the house we're building beside our own. But I didn't know the impact of what went on outside until a coworker showed me this

Horrible ain't it? The damage was pretty bad in some parts, but I think overall we were better prepared this time around for the onslaught. I'm just glad that noone was hurt significantly though I am also regretful that some people lost everything. Taking all into account though--I've got to say a big THANK YOU to God for keeping us safe throughout. Whenever you hear someone say that Jamaica is a blessed country, take them at their word. it's like every season we have a narrow scrap/miss. This one could have been much, much worse. So more time, and keep the faith people.


Blessings!
