Prayers for friends in Texas

In addition to whatever prayers you’re saying about Hurricane Ike, I’d appreciate it if you’d add a few people to your list.

  • From what I hear, Kate and I would be great pals in real life if she and her husband hadn’t left Missouri about the time we arrived. Instead, we’ve had to make do with an internet friendship. Kate and her family live on the Texas coast. She was supposed to have a baby today. Instead, she and her family have packed up and headed inland.
  • My former co-worker Gerry is a very talented photojournalist. This isn’t working in his favor this week, though; the paper he works for is sending him to Houston to cover the hurricane.
