This past Sunday hurricane Ike found it's way to Louisville. Don't ask me how it happened, but we for sure experienced 60 to 100 mph winds!! It was nuts!!! On the way back from church I was trying to think positive about all of the debris and began to imagine that all of the trees were just happy to see Katherine and me coming down the road. So in stead of not showing their emotion, they were shaking with joy and throwing leaves like confetti. Hmmm, if only that was the truth :) In reality it caused quite a problem and we ended up losing power for a few days. Some parts of Louisville are still without and seems will be for about 10 more days. Eek!!
A similar thing happened during my second year at Northwestern so I figured if I did it once I could do it again. This time however was a bit different. I didn't have my wonderful roommies and friends from below to hang out with at the Haas house, but Southern actually serves you food!!!! Yes in 3 days without power at Northwestern, no meals. In 4 hours without power at Southern we got a lovely hot dog dinner cooked by none other than Dr. Mohler (President of Southern & pretty much a big deal in my book), Mrs. Mohler (one of the ultimate BWs of our day), and Denny Burk (Dean of students at Boyce College). It was humbling to say the least. Get a hot dog from Dr. Mohler, get a drink from Dr. Moore. WHAT IS THIS PLACE?!!! Well whatever it is I must say I like it!!!
Everything on campus is up and running as normal, but they still will have no class this week. If you think about it, please be praying for me to use this time wisely. The Lord has blessed me with some great friends and I can be very tempted by socializing. Pray that I would be a diligent steward of this time and get ahead on my work!
Grace & Peace to you all,
Alia
