We are heading to Florida for the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches‘ biannual iGo convention. We leave on Thursday night. The convention is in Tampa, Florida, so I am watching the Hurricane Forecasting website very carefully to see if we might get hit with a zinger while we’re down there. We’ll actually be down there for almost two weeks, so it is conceivable that a hurricane could form and then hit while we’re down there, but if there’s nothing up to the day we leave, then that’s at least half the trip that will be fine.
Part of me would almost like to be down there during a hurricane. It would be interesting to experience. But don’t tell my wife that.
Oops.
PS. I thought I’d just say this out loud – part of our journey down there is going to involve shuttling between airports, because of the way flights were booked. We thought we were going to be stuck renting a car, after we had exhausted our efforts trying to find Christian in our affiliated churches who could help us out with a lift. None of them were free to help, but an atheist political blogger I have had contact with, has not only volunteered to drive us, but is taking the day off work to do it! I am amazed that God provides, and grateful for the ride, but I think it says something about some churchgoers that this woman would bend over backwards for someone she hardly knows while our “brethren” let us down.
