Thank u Lord. Just because we were speared the wrath of this hurricane, we should forget God and go back to our old ways. This maybe a test from God. Remember her created Heaven and Earth. Even though some might not believe in God, just look at the universe and just wonder.
Hurricane season just started. Don’t take anything for granted. Love and Pray.
