Yes, we do, and we can still get out for food at present.

>> Hi Vinny and all,
>>
>> Thank you for your message. I just echo your sentiments, "Amen, Vinny,
>> amen!"
>>
>> It is reported on the news that thousands in Tukesbury (in the middle of
>> the country) now have no clean water or electricity and the rains
>> continue. Their local supermarket was rifled and bottles of water sold
>> for over five times their normal price. The nearest supermarket now open
>> is eight miles away, if you can get there by boat or helicopter.
>>
>> They say tomorrow may well see the burst of the river banks here in
>> Reading. Meantime some local fields are already swamped. About an hour's
>> drive into Oxford would reveal real problems as rivers there are already
>> burst and large evacuations of people have already taken place.
>>
>> It's reported that people are in boats but they're about to capsize, so
>> have been made safer by securing large posts into the ground, but
>> nothing's that safe. Much of the rail network across the country has
>> been closed, until well into August. They say we have had 243 percent of
>> our rainfall for July already, and May and June were well, well over the
>> top too.
>>
>> One couple who should have got married last weekend in Tukesbury (about
>> the worst hit place) were offered another marquet, but then that flooded
>> and they never got to the altar. They've lost about 25 thousand on the
>> wedding and not been able to go on the honeymoon which was booked either.
>>
>> At these times you see both good and bad, with courage and help shown by
>> so many and total, utter selfishness displayed by others. I was
>> horrified yesterday by comments from our church folk who are praying
>> about the Summer Conference due to take place in the South-West in two or
>> three weeks time, that God would change the wind, so that all dries up.
>> What about helping people in need right now? . . .. (I was angry OK at
>> their selfishness!) How I wish I could do something but feel pretty
>> helpless here.
>>
>> Here in Reading the temperatures have dropped considerably today and I am
>> wearing clothes that I would normally wear in March/April. We thank God
>> that at the moment we are dry and have food and water and look to the
>> Lord for His comfort and peace as we pray "Even so, come Lord Jesus"!
>>
>> Please continue to pray for us.
