I have been quiet on my page this week, because I have not known what to say. I don’t often share my personal life here, but I want to explain my break. Kerrville is my hometown and where I spend every summer working at one of the camps, including last year and this year. The 4th of July brought back a lot of memories as we remembered the loss of 119 precious souls, some who I knew. On July 16th, my hometown was devastated again. That morning was a repeat of July 4, as the heavy rain seemed endless and I watched the numbers tick upward, but this time it was the creeks and tributaries that raged. The camp I work at had “normal” flooding and my parents’ house got 13”, but luckily they are high up. Others were not so lucky as any low area that morning was turned into a river. Extremely thankful for the River Sentry towers that saved lives that morning and for all of the people who have showed up, many for the second time. Around 500 homes and 100 businesses were damaged, some for the second time and others for the first. Please keep the Hill Country in your hearts today and the weeks that follow. 💚
