Nightmare on Gustav Street (Rated Hurricane)

The first bands of the Hurricane, completly movie like.

Ok, so after 3 yrs we are facing another Hurricane. It's almost Movie like, we boarded up the windows today and got some extra gas. Then I thought to my self, It really does seem like yesterday when the world was eyes on Louisiana, bracing for impact and and holding there breath. I have often thought in the last few days HOW many will return, how many will call this state home again once all this passes. How much more can people take. With 48 hrs of closed doors there will be lot's of board games, plenty of drawing, and spending some good personal time reading the word. It will be good to get some focus during this time, just thinking about family and how much they mean. You will go through alot of things in life and it's very comforting knowing that you can go through those challenges with your family. After Tuesday the game will be on, rescue and recovery will take place and there will be many needs to be met. I pray that God will give us grace in all of this and help the hands of the church to move fast during the aftermath. If you read this keep us in your prayers, for they will be greatly needed.

Barton & Heather,
We are keeping you in our prayers and keeping up with what's going on down there...via the news & on the phone w/ our parents (they are in Dutchtown down the street from Aunt Betty & Uncle Louis).
If y'all need anything let us know. And if y'all want to evacuate to our house for the next one, come on up...we are in Longview, TX.
Love,
April (Heather's first cousin...her mom is my godmother ;-))
