Hurricane Helene has caused untold devastation across the Southeast United States. Helene made landfall in Florida, which brought strong wind, a large storm surge, and significant rainfall across parts of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The initial storm and the flooding that resulted from Hurricane Helene resulted in the death of 232 people, with over one hundred still unaccounted for. Search and rescue operations are still underway as another hurricane has formed in the Gulf of Mexico. I hope you are praying for the people in the path of these storms.

Jesus was always willing to share a meal with the people of the community in which he was preaching. Sometimes, it was a meal with his disciples, sometimes with friends. On some occasions, the meal was with large crowds, while other times, it was with a small group of strangers in the home of a new friend.
