21 years have passed since Hurricane Katrina struck the Mississippi Gulf Coast, leaving behind destruction that changed our state forever.

We remember the lives lost, the families who lost everything, and the communities forever shaped by that storm. We also remember the first responders, linemen, volunteers, and neighbors who stepped forward to help Mississippi recover.

The lessons of Katrina continue to shape how we prepare. Wayne Carr Mississippi Public Service Commissioner is carrying that work forward by hosting the From Recovery to Resilience: Mississippi Coastal Hurricane Preparedness Summit on October 8th in Biloxi. The summit is free and open to anyone with a stake in how our Coast prepares for, weathers, and recovers from a storm.

The world gives us no shortage of things to worry about, chase after, or become distracted by, and if we are not careful, those temporary things can begin shaping our priorities more than the Word of God does.

This verse is not telling us to ignore our responsibilities or pretend that the problems in front of us do not matter. It is a command to remember that we belong to Christ, and because of that, our thoughts, decisions, and priorities should be guided by Him instead of the desires and fears of this world.

Everything around us will eventually pass away, but the truth of God will not. Keeping our minds on things above means living each day with that truth in front of us and refusing to let temporary things become more important than the One we are called to serve.
