I got down to Florida late Friday to help with the cleanup. While my neighbors and I were sparred with only minimal damage, I know there are many not as fortunate. As I shop for groceries and travel around, I see many signs of the trauma in the landscape and in the eyes of the people. I was surprised to see very empty shelves at the store still. Even fresh bread is largely unavailable. There still gas lines but most stations seem to have power.
I know that there were some that felt the game should have not been played yesterday but I believe it was important to interject a little normalcy into our lives. The church we attend here in Florida decided to meet this morning, not knowing if there would be power (thankfully, it was restored). The pastor wisely let the congregation tell their stories rather than have a traditional service. I realized how important was a little normalcy in our lives. So much for a few thoughts from this thankful old man.
