Marcus just called to tell me that while the water has receded, there's still water in the house, and there's still no way to get our SUV, because the water on the streets is too high (a bummer, because I'm hating having no car). He's grabbing a couple of clean tshirts and coming back with Brian - our goal today will be to somehow get to Alex, so our family is together again. From there, we'll wait for streets to become passable, so my parents can pick us up and we can stay with them while we figure out next moves (they live farther out of town, and so far their home has been relatively unaffected.)</p><p>Marcus has been amazing through all of this - displaying his trademark Jennings patience, taking things a step at a time. It's because of him that I haven't completely lost it - I'm generally pretty good in a crisis (usually only falling apart after everything is over), but a couple of times I approached the end of my rope yesterday, and each time Marcus pulled me back, helping return me to stoic determination. (And I'll feel a whole lot better today when we get back to Alex.)</p><p>The other thing that's helping? Writing these updates - it's helping me process each step, and your comments and reactions are making us feel less alone. So huge thanks for following along, friends.</p><p>More later today.</p></div></div><div class="sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule" data-block-type="47" id="block-yui_3_17_2_6_1503958504773_73430"><div class="sqs-block-content"><hr /></div></div><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" id="block-yui_3_17_2_6_1503958504773_73774"><div class="sqs-block-content"><h3><strong><em>monday, august 28th, 2017, about 4 p.m.</em></strong></h3><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/hurricaneharvey?source=feed_text&amp;story_id=793166570854847">#hurricaneharvey</a>&nbsp;update 4pm Monday -- So. Another thrilling day. After Marcus got back from checking on our house (and confirming that there was no way that we were going to be able to get our car out), our next priority was figuring out how to get to our daughter, Alex. To give you some context, our neighbourhood, where we spent the night, is north of a major bayou -- one that overflowed, and caused the flooding at our house. Alex has been staying with her best friend, south of the bayou. So the trick was how to get her best friend's dad north of the bayou to pick us up.</p><p>Short answer: not possible.</p><p>So I came up with the brilliant (?) idea that <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marzjennings?fref=mentions">Marcus</a>&nbsp;and I would go to one of the high water marks on a street at the north part of the bayou, while Dustin (Alex's best friend's dad) would drive his truck to the high water mark on the same street at the south part of the bayou, and we'd wade through the high water to meet him.</p><p>Turns out the distance between those two points was about a mile. A mile of mostly chest-deep water (6'5"-Marcus-chest height, not 5'8"-my-chest height). As we approached, I started to have second thoughts, but decided it didn't matter: I needed to see my kid's face after 24 hours of not seeing her in this weather.</p><p>Suddenly this guy in a rain poncho approached us. "Do you need to get through?" he asked.</p><p>Marcus: "Yes, we have a friend waiting for us on the other side."</p><p>Guy: "No worries. These guys have a boat, and have been ferrying people across."</p><p>So after about 20 minutes of us standing in the now-cold, pouring rain (our poor dog shaking and terrified), a little boat with an outboard motor showed up and three guys told us to climb in. They took us about three-quarters of the way, slowly motoring past all these beautiful homes that had 5-6' of standing water in them. When we finally got as far as they could take us,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/marzjennings?fref=mentions">Marcus</a>&nbsp;offered them money. "No, we can't take that," they responded. "Beer money!" Marcus insisted. "No, no, no..." they kept saying.</p><p>"FOR HOOKERS AND BLOW!" I yelled. "Seriously, you're angels. Take the money -- you can behave as badly as you'd like from now on, your place in heaven is assured!"</p><p>They laughed, but wouldn't take the money. So Marcus pocketed his money, and we waded through the waist-deep water the remainder of the way to Dustin's truck. As I type this, I'm showered and dry, and have been fed delicious pho, and tea spiked with brandy. And most importantly, I've seen my baby's face. I'm feeling fantastic.</p><p>And if any of you ever see these guys? Look for their wings. Angels, I tell you.</p></div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_6_1503958504773_74883"><div class="sqs-block-content">

The great peacemakers of the world taught us that the only way to counter these acts is with the ethic of love ... *leading* with love.

If so, share your image announcing your commitment and tag it #reclaimlove.
