I must’ve been living in a bubble the past couple of days. I didn’t realize how devastating Hurricane Katrina has become until I launched my browser today. I’ve had minimum TV viewing, web surfing, radio listening and newspaper reading as I prepared for the kids’ first day of school, which was today. Here are a couple of quick links to places where we can make donations to help in the relief efforts:
Just what is it in me?
Sometimes I just don’t know
What keeps me in Your love,
Why You never let me go
And though You’re in me now,
I fall and hurt You still
My Lord, please show me how
To know just how You feel
You have forgiven me
Too many times it seems
I feel I’m not what you might call
A worthy Christian after all
And though I love You so
Temptation finds its way to me
Teach me to trust in You With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
I just forget You won’t give me what I can’t bear
Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don’t wanna be there
- Gary Valenciano, excerpt from “Take Me Out of the Dark”
Last January, I posted an entry from a parked bus. Internet access came from a hotspot outside the bus. Well, according to this, buses in our area will soon get wi-fi access from within. The East Bay transit agency wants “professionals, those with laptops, traveling through the Bay to have better use of their time, rather than looking at traffic.” Pretty cool, eh? One other thing they should provide, however, is a good supply of Dramamine in each of the buses’ first-aid kits.
I did a triple-take on this church sign yesterday. It would’ve been totally trippy if the event was scheduled for the Sunday before.
As you can see the church does have two steeples.
