Storm-seasoned!

Storms abounding, both meteoric and otherwise, we aim to be relatively non-anxious presences in their midst--calms within the storm, if you will. Well-intentioned though we be, foibles and phobias ultimately do us in. Yes, bad news: we are not in control. That's also the good news! "Jesus, Savior, pilot us!" Sometimes God calms the storm, sometimes he calms his storm-tossed children--a hurricane in the most positive sense: "Wind [Holy Spirit], wind, blow on us." Ah, the joy of having Jesus always in our proverbial boats!
