Every home-owner who chooses to stay in the Tampa Bay area is preparing their property to withstand the category 3-wind-force of Hurricane Ian. Category 3 hurricanes are nothing to laugh at. I will do the same preparation for our property as I have done for all the previous hurricanes over the last thirty years. My house and heart are ready.

Your house, too, might be prepared. But how is your heart doing? Is it prepared? Or, are you gripped by worry as Hurricane Ian approaches your neck of the woods? Is anxiety the dominant element as you consider what might happen to you or your loved ones?

During these days of uncertainty, I am reminded of a mother, Monica of Hippo (N. Africa, modern day Algeria), mother of well-known Augustine. She was contagious. That’s why she comes to my mind.
