Coverage about hurricane Sandy is all over the news. The winds started picking up in intensity around 5 and has been going on for the past 3 hours. Our lights are flickering from time to time, we hear occasional banging noises on the windows from flying debris, and branches are down in our backyard.
My in-laws just went outside to pick up Ajo's mom from work and thank God they returned home safely. The winds are pretty harsh and a lot of families have already lost power. I am praying for my co-worker Susanna who lives in Coney Island area. They just lost power as well.
Jesus calming the storm recorded in the Gospel has so much to offer us during this time of uncertainty.
Mark Chapter 4 verse 39
There is sure power in the voice of God, our Lord Jesus.
When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calmHere is psalm 29 - A Psalm by David.

with bolts of lightning.

the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

and strips the forests bare.
