Pray for Houston
As all of us are thinking and praying about our brothers and sisters in Houston, the turmoil and exhaustion that has poured down on them will take a long time to recover from. But our generous prayer, gifts and volunteering support will help ease the burden.

And below is a poem that Steven Lufkin wrote, as he thought on Houston's overwhelming storm:
Fall fifty inches
Fall down
You may bury our families
And bury this town
But you could never
Send enough water
To wash the faith
Inside of me out
Fall fifty inches
Fall down
You may steal everything
Yesterday held
But the sky could never bleed
So long that It drowns
This faith
Inside of me out
Fall fifty inches
Fall down
Decorate every street
With a flood on the ground
But the tragedy you bring
Will never have the strength
To tear this faith
Inside of me out
Fall fifty inches
Fall down
You may ransack our
Comfortable places and howl at the moon
But you know,
Theres a faith in my heart
Giving me light when everything's dark
Fall fifty inches
Fall down
Lying within a stadium of sounds
Echoing voices, people all around
I look to the face
I look to the crown
Peace,
David
