Friends and Family,Grace and peace to all. Donel and I are at our home "hunkering down" in Houston, Texas.
Pray with and for all the folks impacted by Hurricane Ike that is coming on land here in Texas.
We are not in the evacuation zone and we are ok with "Shelter In Place." This shelter order was given to the communities that were not located in the direct path of the storm or at the coastal level. The storm is moving east and we live on the westside of Houston.
What can be expected for us? Wind, rain, and a fast moving storm. Since we are on the clean side (our zip code is 77031), we can expect to loose power...not sure how long. Our home number is 281-498-2467. Here are a few links from Houston area tv stations:

I love you guys...keep praying and I believe that we are safe at this time...Please Pray with us for safety during hurricane season:
A Prayer for Hurricane SeasonO God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude; you are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control. The Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen.
