Re: Hurricane Ike Pictures
 

Makes me curious whether the houses left standing belong to Christians or not.

Re: Hurricane Ike Pictures
 

All the destruction around this one house and not even one shingle is missing. Strange.

Re: Hurricane Ike Pictures
 

The one with the caskets out of the ground is truly heartbreaking. I know that is wierd to focus on that, but to me that would be horrible if my loved ones remains uprooted and floating around.

I pray for those who were left to deal with this awful destruction.

Re: Hurricane Ike Pictures
 

I felt the same way. heartbreaking.

The scripture about "building your house upon a rock" comes to mind in some of these pictures.


Hey Renda, where are these taken?
