Hurricane

We experienced the wrath of a hurricane a few years ago at our old house. We bunked out and held out until the wind was over. The result was destruction to many homes. We were blessed that we only had minor property damage with downed trees and no power for 5 days.

There are times that you find yourself forced to focus on the bare essentials of life. We are spoiled in our day to day moments. The comfort of so many technologies and convienences are taken for granted. When all is taken away, we find who we really are and what we truly need to survive.

I think how Jesus went up on the mountain. He didn't even have food or water. He took that time to concentrate on what He was to do.

Mark 1:12-14
" The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness, where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was out among the wild animals, and angels took care of him."
