“People are more important than things.” Randy Pausch describes pouring Coke in the backseat of his new comfortable to demonstrate how little he cared about his car as a young man versus his nephew and niece. As I prepare to sit through this storm (Florence) my thoughts and prayers are not for all the things that are already lost and will be lost. 100s of Billions in damages to be sure. No, my prayers are for the safety of the people, their comfort, the people that show up to be beside them as they grieve the impact. We will get hit too, although not nearly as hard as millions of others, so I pray that goes well... Not to salvage my stuff- although I’d be lying if I said I don’t care about it, but instead about the people who will be hurt and who will surely need help once the cameras and their crews get distracted by something else. I pray those of us who live in these states impacted, rally around our neighbor and are there for one another the way we are intended to be. #bettertogethersc #bettertogetherflosho #florence #hurricaneprayers #hurricanetips #oneanother #praying #faith #neighbors #neighborhood (at North Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BntCudtj4ch/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iu48vyrttwrl
