OK - I am sure that everyone is wondering, "are the Callanders OK?" We are!!! I have been at TCH since Friday morning at 0630. I will hopefully be going home tomorrow. Shawn stayed in the house to "ride out the storm". He boarded up the house on Thursday, so he was safe and sound. The damage: We have a small leak in one of the bathrooms (from the roof) upstairs - Shawn said it was really little, we lost most of our fence, we are out of power, and it may be a few weeks before we get it back. Other than that, things seem to be OK. Of course we are having someone come out and inspect the leak and the roof. Shawn and I are planning on replacing the fence ourselves...we hope to make it stronger and nicer than it was before the storm. Until we regain power, we will be staying at the Conner's house - they bought 2 generators. We have joked about living in the same house, and now we will be. I am still planning on coming up to Dallas (Monday or Tuesday depending on if the airport is open). The Woodway Campus of Second Baptist did sustain a substantial amount of damage - Shawn will probably have to stay here in Houston to help with the clean up, and whatever else is required of him.
Please continue to pray for those around us and our church family. We did have a few families whose houses sustained a significant amount of damage...some of the families are planning on staying out of town and enrolling their children in school where they are until homes are fixed and the power / life is restored to normal here in the Houston area.
We love all of you and appreciate your prayers!!!
