Last year, floods ransacked Vermont.
They stole. They destroyed. They even killed.
While the rest of the country dealt with extreme heat,
Vermont was struggling just as much with the floods.
I was lucky enough be outside the area of damage.
But I saw it on the news.
So many days of just
Rain.
Rain.
Rain
And more rain.
One year later, it happened again.
This time it was one day.
So far, at least.
I still see people on the news.
Houses destroyed or harmed.
People praying that this year’s damage won’t nearly be as bad as last year’s.
It’s not just the people affected by the flood praying.
It’s everyone.
Because when one of us is affected,
We’re all affected.
