It is hard to believe how much this oil spill has made an impact on our area and the people who live here. It just gets worse and worse. It really breaks my heart. This is our home - lived here all of our lives. The beautiful beaches are going to be brown, there are many, many people without jobs, and the animals are dying daily. There was a young dolphin out in the water near Ft. Pickens yesterday. It was crying for help. A tourist tried to help it. The animal rescue crew got it out of the oil and in transit to Gulf World in PCB, that poor baby died.
I know that God is still present. Today there are north winds helping to push it back some. It is going to get better, but only He knows when. We were talking about in church last week how He can take everything away until there is nothing left but Him. As much as we hate that, we are seeing it right before our eyes. I pray that he gives us all the strength to know what we can all do to help.
I have provided a link to a website that will help to remind us to pray without ceasing: http://www.oilspillprayer.com/
The Doobie Brothers & Kenny Loggins are coming to the Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island for a free concert on Sunday. It is a benefit concert, and hopefully it will bring a few more tourists here to help the local economy.
In His Love,

This is a nightmare. My spirit is heavy.
ReplyDeleteI'm also looking at all your above posts, and this one, and swear I've been commenting. I even know what I said above for DC and your new workout. I must not be filling out the verification letters correct? I'll recomment now...
