Brigid and I still know plenty of people on the two Islands, and we are quite worried about the situation. Ann Althouse had a post saying "Say a prayer for Jamaica", and for her troubles got two bizarre comments saying you can’t trust anyone who believes in prayer! Althouse: Jamaica.
Here is the comment I left –
Ann
Thanks for mentioning Jamaica, where I lived and taught school for a number of years in the late 70’s. I’m sure the Cayman Islands, where I also taught after moving on from Jamaica, will also be hit hard. Since the highest point on Grand Cayman is only 140 feet, it could be catastrophic. That Island has been cut in three pieces in past hurricanes.
I can also assure you that overwhelmingly, Jamaicans and Caymanians believe that God hears our prayer!
