After seeing some of the pictures and videos of Hurricane
Harvey and the torrential rains that hit Texas over the past couple of days, it
brings me to 20 years ago when the banks of the Red River flooded and my wife’s
family home in East Grand Forks Minnesota had 4 feet of water on the main floor
of their family home. One thing that I do
know about people is that we are resilient and do overcome the obstacles that
are thrown at us. Every time that we
hear of some community taken to the brink of obscurity we see the town and the surrounding
people pull together and team up to fix what is the problem, look at what
Hurricane Katrina did 12 years ago in New Orleans and how that community pulled
together to rebuild. I look at Grand
Forks and how they rebuilt. Even though
there is devastation in Houston Texas, they too will overcome, rebuild and come
together. I have faith.
