My wife, Chauna, and I are
praying for all those affected by the flooding of the Guadulupe River in Texas.
The Texas Hill Country holds a special place in our hearts. We
vacation in Canyon Lake, have friends in the area and many great memories. It
has been marked on our calendar to go back in November and make more memories.
All friends are accounted for except one, but I have no reason to believe he is
not ok.
The images of devastation coming from the Texas Hill country closely resemble
those we experienced in Columbia, S.C. during the 2015 flood and now is not the time for
your criticism or pointing fingers. It’s time for some compassion. There are
real families experiencing unimaginable loss of missing children, loved ones. That’s
real pain, real devastation. It’s time for prayer and a helping hand if you
can.
Just like South Carolina did in 2015, Texas is going to need volunteers, nonperishables, supplies and more. Support
where you can. Help make some good out of a bad situation.
I'm in the process of identifying some good local Texas charitable organizations on the ground responding to the crisis. I'll share that list when I get it. I know South Carolinians will join us in donating and sending support and relief to the great people of Texas.
God bless Texas. Prayers for Texas.
