A Glimpse at Galveston
I have been floored to see such Beauty and Brokenness occupy the same space.
I shot this following video just 1 mile from each other.
It’s been seven months since Hurricane Ike hit Galveston. And while there has been a good amount of work done here, you’d think from walking through the under resourced parts of Galveston that it hit yesterday.
While the Restaurants and Resorts here are in high gear to get things ready for summer, there are whole parts of town that have been largely forgotten and neglected. The projects you saw in this video are where residents were evacuated and while they were gone, the city came through and fenced up the property to keep them from going back in.
While it can seem like a horrible juxtaposition, somehow… God is in both. He is the waters that rhythmically continue make their way to shore. He is in the hood, where it seems that hope was washed away with the flood waters.
Somehow…He is big enough and faithful enough to be in both.
Somehow…He makes the Broken things Beautiful in a way that only He can.
