Time To Go

Its 9:09 P.M. on Saturday night as I write this and we're almost finished packing our vehicles. Gustav has shifted closer and is predicted to make landfall as a powerful Category 4. Our parish president has called for a mandatory evacuation and Jaime and I are ready to get out of Dodge. We're tired, anxious, and a little afraid. We've been here before and things didn't turn out so well. Let me be completely honest. If you want to pray for us, pray that our house is standing and intact when we are able to return. Pray that God will spare us the pain and grief of losing everything again. I doubt I'll sleep much over the next few days.
