Just Burn It

When in the event that your dryer breaks the day before you go on a weeklong trip, and the remnants of a hurricane flood part of your city during the first couple of days of your trip, and you come home to discover (after you've been home for 2 days) that everything in your basement is wet and stinky from the week before "flooding" (including the couch, boxes of stored clothes for the kids to grow into, Christmas decorations, etc...), and you are 3 1/2 weeks away from your due date...
Then my personal advice is to burn it. If it's wet, it won't burn, right? But at least you'll feel better after you light the match. And then after you "burn it", get your 7 year old son to help you haul it out to the trash, and then start over. And attempt to buy a "new" dryer on Craigslist...

Unbelievable!! Do you have flood insurance? It should cover it all. Could you save any of the kids clothes or did they all ruin? Will be looking for freebies too!!

You just keep proving to me how God does provide. I'm impressed and in awe!! Did you get to keep any of the Christmas decorations? And are you looking for another couch for the basement?
