Pray

As the day has unfolded, Rita has slowly started to weaken. My prayer is that it continues to do so - and my prayers are with those in her path.

For those preparing, get ready for a rough ride. There will be times that you are sure the house or building is coming apart. Seek a strong place, and do not forget to pray.

Pray for those you love, those you know and for those who have no real way to escape the storm.

Pray that God will use you as the new day arrives, and guide you to the right places at the right time.

Pray that God will sustain you through the days and weeks ahead as you look at things no one should ever have to see

And pray that you may be the last one on your family to ever go through this.

I will pray for you.
