I never know how to pray in a hurricane. Al Mohler had a great post about this -- if the storm goes a different direction, people still are affected -- it's just not "us."

So all we can do is pray that the damage isn't severe, that our loved ones are safe, and that things turn out for the best. And that is what happened today. more...

This is all that's on my mind today, so I figure I'll blog about it. Maybe I'll feel better.

Right now it looks like Dennis has come ashore about 30-40 miles from Mom's house. She's inland with some good friends of ours (their kids have almost adopted my Mom as a third grandmother) so she's with people who care about her, and who she cares about.

My biggest worry is that there is so much debris still left over from Ivan that hasn't been picked up yet. The county said that the state was supposed to clear it away, but the state said it was the county's job -- end result was that it didn't get done. Piles and piles of potential projectiles to fly through windows and crash through roofs.

But the house can be fixed. Mom is safe, and that's what matters.

Pray for the people in Fort Walton, Navarre, and points east. They are getting a bit more of this storm than they expected, so they may not be as prepared as they should be.

My Mom's birthday is today.

She lives in Pensacola, Florida, about a mile from NAS Pensacola.

Guess what SHE'S getting for her birthday?
And she just finished fixing everything from Ivan about a week or so ago. Happy birthday, Mom.

One thing that blogging has done for me -- it's brought international events into a different perspective. Two years ago, the bombings in London would have outraged me, but from a purely "how dare they kill innocent people" point of view. Now, I know people in London. My first thoughts were about two bloggers I know who are in London right now, and the readers I have in London (I usually get 3 or 4 hits daily from London). The world is, indeed, a much smaller place.

Christians throughout the blogosphere have called for a day of fasting and prayer for our leaders, and for revival among God's people on July 11, 2005. Please participate with us. History shows that fervent, corporate prayer is the one sure cause of revival among God's people -- and that revival has a habit of extending throughout the world.

By now everyone knows about this one. The tubes in London have been bombed. A bus has been blown up. And this time, it's not the IRA.

We're under attack. Not "we" as in the United States. "We" as in Western society. Western civilization. Everything that we believe as a society is under attack, and the people doing the attacking don't care who they hurt or what they have to do.

A list of links to check out:{Updated as of 10PM Thursday}

• Frank J over at IMAO is not amused, and is not being amusing today. This is the first blog post I read about the bombings, and I have to say it's a great post. I read IMAO regularly through RSS -- when these guys are serious, it makes an impact.
• Scott at The Crusty Curmudgeon reports on Adrian Warnock and Phil Johnson, who are both in London.
• Instapundit has his usual plethora of links.
• Agent Tim says that "We Are All Britons Today"
• Espresso Roast had the story early this morning.
• Maranatha offers a prayer for the people of London.
• Reformissionary has a frightened quote from an eyewitness.
• Matt at This is Not for You has a great summary post.
