Heaviest rain moving to the east of Houston. National Guard has arrived at Dickinson with high profile amphibious vehicles to help with evacuations.

Yes, he is only opening it as he now thinks, with the bad publicity, people will give him less money.  I think I would swim out rather than go to his fancy church.  Or, I would go there and rub my wet, dirty clothes on the sanctuary podium where he expounds his fake religion of wealth.

I have family in Nashville, and I can't help but note the drastic difference between Osteen and the REAL Church.  After the devastating flood there, the churches in the Nashville area took over with supplying food and drinking water as well as shelter and the rebuilding of homes, churches and places of business.

The idea that a "church" that size would not offer shelter immediately is a sign to me that it is not the Church at all.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Some thoughts...

John Osteen would never have considered keeping Lakewood closed in such a catastrophic event. He'd have been the first one to open his doors. I'm saddened to the core that I don't see any evidence of the man John Osteen was in his son, Joel.

I watched a reporter as she covered the opening of the church as a shelter. All the volunteers she spoke to were singing the praises of Lakewood Church and how much they care about the community. It was if they'd been schooled in damage control language. This is an opportunity for Joel and Victoria to re-examine their walk and have a new come-to-Jesus moment.

I mentioned that Joel Osteen's father was Claude.
My mistake.
Claude Osteen was Major league pitcher.
John Osteen was Joel's dad.
I get that backwards, every now and again.

I never viewed Osteen as a spiritual leader, but more of a motivational speaker.  He tells a good joke every now and then, but I never hear any real substance to what he preaches.

I hear you. As I said just above, I am indebted to his daddy. I get nada from Joel's ministry.

I went to the local Red Cross today to donate blood but they sent me home. I'm coming down with a cold and I feel awful.

Instead, I wired money to my Master Card and sent what I could to a couple charities listed on the front page,

I hope it's ok. I feel like something the dog brought in. I think it's my yearly strep.

Anyway, all my Texan friends are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

   I was unaware of the enhanced status of looting in an Emergency Declaration area.

14 people in Houston county arrested on looting charges

 By Josh Delk - 08/29/17 05:58 PM EDT   

Fourteen people in the Houston area have been arrested on looting charges area over the past 48 hours as Hurricane Harvey floods the region.

If convicted, the defendants will face steeper punishments since the acts were committed during a crisis, according to a prosecutors' statement provided to NBC News.

The offenders, who were arrested by the Houston Police Department and the Harris County Sheriff's Office for allegedly looting residential and commercial properties during and after Harvey, will be subject to a Texas law that mandates increased punishments for crimes committed in a disaster area, the statement said.

Just posted this same article.  Good to hear that they might get "life" for looting here in TX.  I'd prefer a bullet between the eyes, but "life" will do.
