Many of us have friends and family that got thrashed by Hurricane Katrina; if you have any extra prayers handy, please send one up for my grandmother and her husband. They’re unharmed, but their house used to be on the Mississippi shore of the Gulf of Mexico. Apparently, it’s simply gone. Worse, they may not be able to get out of the disaster area for days. So, thanks for any prayers. On the bright side, not only are they unhurt, but they have a place to go, a second house in another state; many right now can’t say the same.
