Today we are chatting about some current events, including the recent hurricanes, some 9/11 memories, and Mark's birthday.

We share a few personal memories of 9/11 and talk about how church services were different the following Sunday. We reflect on how our lives are different after that day, and how events like the recent hurricanes can affect permanent change in people's lives.

Regarding the hurricanes, Kirk Cameron said God sent the hurricanes for "humility, awe, and repentance." In contrast, actress Jennifer Lawrence said the hurricanes are punishment from mother nature for the election of Donald Trump. We talk about sin, repentance, and the gospel, in light of natural disasters and other crises. As believers, we have to trust that God is in control and works for his glory.

Finally, we share a few suggestions for how you can help with hurricane relief.
