The storm wasn't too bad. A lot of rain and wind but we came through okay. There are a lot of flooded places but we are on high ground so we didn't have much damage. Pray for all those who lost their homes because of flooding. This was a huge tropical storm. The bands reached all the way to West VA.

by Henry Van Dyke "A Parable of Immortality"

"I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, 'There she goes!'

Gone where? Gone from my sight -- that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the places of destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, 'There she goes!', there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, 'Here she comes!' "
