Our winner from last week is Holly who left a comment on Aug. 24 at 10:14 am. Holly, would you email me your address to amy@proverbs31.org. I'll send you Renee's book!
If you haven't noticed that NC has had some major news from nature in the past couple of weeks, maybe you've been out of the country. While the earthquake didn't cause many problems in our area, it was great fodder for conversation. Stuff like, "Well, an earthquake in Holly Springs. Who would have thought it?" (Imagine this being said by Scarlett O'Hara for the general effect.)
The hurricane which some have said was over-hyped in reality has been both problematic for many and tragic for some. My parents say that it's some of the worst damage that they've ever seen in Greenville, NC.
There was a story this week out of Burlington, NC that has truly changed everything, though. On Monday night, Harry Cohen, a high school senior and quarterback of his football team, died suddenly. He and his family attended church with us before our move. His parents and extended family are known for their faith and how much they all adored Harry. I remember being at sports events with teams full of tiny boys and Harry's cheering section filling the stands.
On Monday night the earth shifted for Harry's friends and family. Buildings damaged from earthquakes and hurricanes will be repaired. Trees will be cut up and hauled away. Flood waters will subside. But the world will never be the same without Harry.
