Praying for Mark

Tropical Storm Florence is blowing her way westward. So far, I've heard wind and rain. The lawn is littered with leaves and twigs. I'm grateful to be safe and dry. So far, the power remains on.

I learned yesterday that I have distant relatives in / near Wilmington, NC. That's where Hurricane Florence made landfall. Most of the family is safe, but Mark has not been heard from. I have not met any of these relatives, but that does not matter. My cousin, who is very close to them, is very concerned. I am praying for continued safety for the family and for Mark. I hope it's just that his cellphone has no power and that he is safe. I know his mom, wife and others probably are not sleeping well with this worry...
