It worked!

Okay, if we do stay. I will put updates on this site as I am able to do so. As of right now, we have no plans to leave. That may change tonight. If I leave, I will post that too.

This message is to see if i can update this blog from my phone .

Gustav

I was reading the blogs of some of my friends who lost much during Katrina. I wish that I could give everyone peace during this thing; a peace I don't even have myself. I didn't lose my house. I got minor damage. But I did lose my childhood homes, my grandparents houses. The things that meant "home" to me no longer exist. And as Gustav approaches, I feel anxiety for this area. How can I forget all the pain Katrina brought? Broken marriages, suicides, depression, deaths.

As I look toward this hurricane, I can't even imagine what waits for us on the other side of it. We are staying. Because our house suffered minimal damage during Katrina, and we are well prepared, we are going to ride it out. Is that naive? I don't know.

But here we are, and unless this looks like it will strengthen more than it shows now, here we will stay. So, if you would like us to check on your stuff, just let me know.

I will try to give updates, if possible. I think there is a way to text updates, either to this or to myspace. If I can, I will do that. In the meantime, please pray for us. And I will be praying for everyone and for this area. And for the peace that passes all understanding for us all. I have written something on Ezekiel. I will post that shortly. Maybe it will give us all a little encouragement.

By the way, my myspace page is this watering the vine
