We made it back home last night after being evacuated for Hurricane Ike.  Our area has a lot of damage that is typical for hurricanes.  There are alot of trees down, carports scattered and fences down, but that is the majority of damage for Mid-County.  We know that some people have major damage but Nederland was spared.  Our house had almost no damage at all.  A little water got in the back door but that is easy to fix.  The church lost its big awning in the front, also a little siding and some water came through a window but that is all.  We praise the Lord for helping us through the storm.  We still have no power and it could be off for a little while.  We are not sure when we will have it back. Overall we are thankful for God’s protection.
