VRA Update: Hurricane Harvey

Just a brief update and many, many thanks for your prayers and well wishes. We continue to be among the very, very fortunate...our home is dry and we are safe...but the number of our fellow Houstonians/Texans that cannot say the same is just staggering. Hurricane Harvey has left our area (as the waters continue to rise) and has now pummeled more of the Texas/Louisiana coast as it moved north. Absolute devastation for 100's of miles. You're never fully prepared for the horrific damage and destruction that water can inflict. We're looking at many months of recovery and rebuilding...but also know this; we will get the job done. 

Thank you again for your many calls, emails, texts and tweets...they are greatly appreciated. For those that would like to help, my advice is a donation to the Houston Food Bank at houstonfoodbank.org. Food, supplies and shelter are stretched thin. They do great local work.

Final point on Harvey. Anyone that believes the US is a deeply divided country...that we are a racist country...that we are a country at war with one another, is either a fool or is purposely misleading. Ignore the MSM that wants only to divide us. Fools indeed. Houstonians/Texans and all that have helped our area in time of real need are making this point better than I ever could. I have never been so proud to be a Houstonian, a Texan, an American. 

Thank you again.
