...but it was beginning to feel like it! I honestly wondered if the rain was ever going to end, We are so blessed and fortunate to have survived the Flood of 09 - as the media is calling it. We live far enough from Atlanta that we have escaped the worst of the damage. We count our blessings as we still have our home, our belongings and most importantly, our family. We pray for many of the precious families in Atlanta that have no flood insurance, do not sit in a flood plain and have lost ALL their material belongings, and some even lost family members. It has been incredible to see the communities surrounding Atlanta to pull together and help each other out. The Christian radio station has also set up a system on Faceb**k that allows people to post their needs and others to post what they have to give. We serve an awesome God who encourages Christians to serve and sacrifice in times of need.
We also survived the dreaded Swine Flu in our household.
Oh yes, the scary H1N1 arrived and left quickly. Only three of the family members were sick, the other two escaped it for now. I do think we will all be getting seasonal flu shots this year. As much as I dread the needle, I dread the flu even more!
My neice's birthday is this weekend, on the opposite side of Atlanta that we live on. Our usual route to get there is currently shut down and covered in water. So we are praying that we can find alternate routes to make it to her party!

Hey- I'm so glad to hear you are all ok. I seriously didn't even know there WERE floods (yes, I watch NO news, so I live with my head in the sand!!!). That's scary! What a blessing to have been spared, and what an opportunity to minister to others in Christ's name!
OK, the H1N1 virus scares the dickens out of me. I do at least read the Yahoo news headlines and it seems someone dies every day of it. I am SO glad to hear you had it and it was no big deal! The kids got it and were ok? I'm really mostly worried about Sawyer because he has viral asthma, so when he gets a respiratory infection it is BAD. I'd be interested ot hear how the virus was for you all. Glad everyone is healthy now though!!
