KENTUCKY IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS!!


We have a family friend who recently sold his Oil company here in Michael's home town. He was talking to my mother in law today and told her to go fill up her tank with gas and keep it full. He told her to pass it on to us as well. For you see, Kentucky is running out of gas. It takes 8 loads of gas to fill up all the gas stations in KY. This morning, they only received 1 ! One of the main pipe lines has been closed from Tuscaloosa, AL to here that supplied us. So within a week, we will have no gas. We already have 1 city here who has 2 stations that have run out of gas.

Maybe this is for a reason.
Maybe this is so that we are forced as a society to stay home and spend time with our families. Maybe it is forcing the workaholics to catch just a tiny glimpse of what it is like to stay home and just hang out with your kids.
Maybe it is forcing those who are having difficult marriages to have to spend time together and work things out.
Maybe it is forcing moms and dads with troubled teens to have to be in the same house to talk about what is going on in their lives. Maybe it is so that people can come up with a plan on how to help the Katrina victims.
Or possibly it is to help a family who has a loved one who is sick , spend time with them before it is their time to go. Maybe it will force neighbors to come together and help out one another. Communities may become united. Anger may subside and hurts may fall to the wayside.
People will have to become creative and find other things to do besides go out to eat or to a movie or the mall.
My hope and prayer is that GOD will be seen thru this. That his words, that he will never leave nor forsake us, and the he has a plan for us and knows the future will ring out and be heard throughout. That is my prayer!
