Bloghardt's Reflector


“If now I seek the forgiveness of sins, I do not run to the cross, for I will not find it given there… But I will find in the sacrament or Gospel the word which distributes, presents, offers, and gives to me that forgiveness which was won on the Cross.” (AE 40, 214)

This is the fun of living near the Gulf Coast.  When you say to yourself, "we haven't had a hurricane this year," then comes one!

Once again we are reminded of the fragile nature of our lives.  There are so many things we can't control or predict.  Where will [ read more ]

Wilma and the waves...

Posted At: 3:20am by Bloghardt
Hurricane Wilma is out there... you know it's coming.  You know it's about to hit you.  But, it's moving and moving...

You've been preparing for it's coming for days.  It's all you think about.  Will your family be safe?  Will your house?  Do you evacuate? Do you not?  What about traffic? Will there be gas?

You decided to stay and you went to try to stock up at Walmart and it was a mad house.  You put ice in the freezer and turned the fridge to max.  You turned the AC so cold that you had to wear a sweater.  You boarded up what you could.

You step outside and it is just odd.  There's a strange silence.  A calm.  You wonder if the animals have any clue what is happening.  You look around to see the limbs... which might fall on your house.  What else can you do?

Holy Category Five!

Posted At: 6:42pm by Bloghardt
Thank you for your prayers and your comments.  Please continue to pray for us.  It looks Conroe, which is forty miles north of Houston, will get a category three storm when Hurricane Rita rips through here.

Please pray that we all safely weather the storm, that houses and churches don't receive any damage, and that for Sophia's sake our electricity isn't off for too long.  Pray specifically for the people on the coast, that the Lord would evacuate them and that the damage would be minimal.

I wrote this reflection for the upcoming Epiphany Reflections, I think the situation warrants a spoiler.  If not for you, for my sake.
