Hurricane Rita

Ana and everyone else down south really need our prayers.

They say that Rita, which is only a Category 1 storm right now, is likely to upgrade to Category 3 (major hurricane status, Katrina was a four) and hit the Gulf Coast within a matter of mere days, possibly burying New Orleans in 15 more inches of rain.

I can't even fathom the implications of this on the Coast. It's bad enough already there, and another hurricane can only worsen the situation.

Specifically, pray that Ana remains safe wherever she is and that the storm misses her. If she is forced to evacuate, pray that she has somewhere else to go where she is needed. We can only trust that God still has many good things in store...
