White House Correspondent William Koenig connects the dots about the current crises facing the U.S. and the world.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed… (2 Cor 4:8-9 ESV)

We must continue to pray for the people in Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina who have been greatly impacted and devasted by Hurricanes Michael and Florence over the past few weeks. These record setting hurricanes, Florence for the massive rains and flooding and Michael for the third most powerful hurricane at landfall in U.S. history, have affected lives beyond our comprehension.

Last year’s Month of Elul Hurricane’s Harvey, Irma and Maria and Florence and Michael will be in the top 10 costliest hurricanes in U.S. history.

The last time we had so many major record setting hurricanes was in 2004 (Charlie, Jeanne, Frances and Ivan) and then 2005 (Katrina, Rita, Wilma and Dennis).

News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said.

Bridges said, “A tropical depression could formulate this weekend or early next week over the northwestern Caribbean Sea or the southern Gulf of Mexico.”… (To read the full article Click Here  by Bill Koenig, White House News Correspondent.)
