In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike....
Monday morning Tim and I (along with other members) went up to the church to help them do some preliminary clean up. The damage there is quite extensive. Our education building (top pic) has one entire wall that came crashing down. The playground was completely up-lifted and moved to the back parking lot (third and fourth pic). We also had a hole in the roof of the sanctuary building, and some siding torn off (second pic). The last pic is of our Youth Pastor, Josh, trying to pull the fence back together. This is where the playground use to be. I'm going out on a limb, but am guessing the church got hit by a tornado.
Things are slowly returning to normal around this part of town. We went to HEB today. They are still not fully stocked. They won't have eggs and milk for a few more days. We had to make a separate trip to Randall's to get eggs and milk. School for Clear Creek should return on Tuesday next week. Well, staff returns on Monday, and the students come on Tuesday. Although, the final decision will be made tomorrow at 4 p.m. The good news is that TEA is not requiring us to make the days up. :) Thanks TEA!!
When we got home from running errands, we saw my downstairs neighbor and found out her husband died Monday night from not being able to get his dialysis. How sad is that? Apparently the hospitals would not do it, and they told her to take him to Austin to get it done.
Have a great week!

OMG- that is HORRIBLE about your neighbor's husband! So sad.
It is hard to believe how much damage the church sustained too! Glad you guys aren't getting married until Dec.!
