Mother Nature's Amusement Park

My 11 year old son is on vacation. He is flying to Florida today with his aunt, uncle, and two cousins. They are going to hang out in the Orlando area for a few and then go to St. Pete Beach for a few days.

The highlight will probably be their day at Discovery Cove. A place where one can swim with dolphins. Pretty cool indeed. However; there may be a bigger highlight headed their way in the form of a gal named Chris.

That’s right; my son may get to witness and experience Mother Nature’s fury due to Tropical Storm Chris. Chris is swirling around near the island of Antigua and will be moving WNW for the next few days, slowly sucking up the warm, energy rich waters as she passes. Her winds will increase, perhaps achieving hurricane strength, as she rides the Coreolis Express towards Florida and the southeast coast.

I’ll keep you updated as to the relationship between Chris and my son. If he does get to experience it, I of course hope nothing bad happens to my little man. But I will also be looking forward to one helluva good “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” paper from him.


And Now…Our Moment of Hinn:

“The Spirit tells me -- Fidel Castro will die in the 90's. Oooh my! Some will try to kill him and they will not succeed. But there will come a change in his physical health, and he will not stay in power, and Cuba will be visited of God.”

--Benny Hinn

Wow... I hope that all goes well down there! In this day and age a "Tropical Storm" never seems to keep that designation for long...

Hilarious Hinn quote, btw. And it prompted me to actually check the damn news this morning. WOW! Now I'm wondering if this Raul Castro guy is going to be any better or worse...

I think Raul is a carbon copy, but at the age of 75, and judging by the way he looks, I dont think he will be around too long either.

As far as the storm, well, it could get interesting. Now if you will pardon me, I must go hit someone with an eel.
