PRAYER ALERT: ANOTHER HURRICANE SEASON

"IT'S THE SEASON to be wary," a friend said recently, speaking of the June start to the Atlantic hurricane season. Many people would say wary sounds a bit like understatement in the US Gulf Coast region in particular, where it's been hard to escape the onslaught of concern since Hurricane Katrina hit last year.

"How about the season to be prayerful?" I thought.

Having gone through hurricane prep for a number of years, I feel I'm a bit of a pro—although my approach has changed over time. My thoughts and actions have gone from fear and concern, to stocking the pantry with emergency supplies, to prayerful consideration of how my neighbors and I might be protected. During the ten years I've lived in Florida, I've been through a number of tropical storms and hurricanes, including a Catergory Five storm, and I've experienced extraordinary protection.
