'Lil bit a prayin' goin on...

Not a little bit, but a lot! There's a WHOLE.LOTTA.WATTA headed our way and I'm asking the big Guy to take it a bit easy on us, or at least help those that are less fortunate to find a place of refuge to get away from the flooding. My parents live just on the otherside of the Indian Creek which feeds into the Missouri River (which is approximately 1-2 miles from their home). The creek levee is just outside their front door- literally... the water is rising...and rising... and rising. To the point that we're ready to sandbag. UGH! My parents have been very patient and not panicked, until today. They have ordered rock, plastic, more rock and more plastic to put outside their front door and along the basement doors. We are very fortunate to have a civil engineer in the family- my brother, Scott spent the day with the Governor, police chief, fire chief, and a lot of other city officials trying to decide what to do. So he's given us a bit of a forewarning as the city officials have not really released a lot of information to the public yet. So peeps, I'm asking for a favor...please pray for safety for all. I told my mom today- if this is a natural disaster that will ruin your home- you're lucky. You have time to save things, your home won't be destroyed without warning by a tornado, a fire, etc... you weren't given a death sentence, your family is safe, things are just things. But please pray.
