I am praying for the safety of all those affected. Houston has truly been a home to me over the last 8 years.

I also want to thank all the men and women of service and volunteers for their courageous efforts to help people in need. I encourage everyone to do what they can to assist the people of Texas knowing whatever effort you can make to help will go a long way.</a></p>
