Hurricanes Show the Natural Hand of God

The onslaught of hurricanes, marching one after the other in the fall of 2004, prompted many people to think more about God. It is safe to say that there were countless prayers for God to temper the might of the storms. Others realized they were seeing the power of God through nature. Kevin Harless, 32, who was sightseeing in Panama City Beach, Florida, was more of a theologian than he may have realized. He said, "You want to see the natural hand of God firsthand, but you don't realize how strong it is."
