Surrounded by Love and Worry

I had quite a few calls from worried friends today. Dearest Friends - Thank you for your loving and caring prayers! It is really heartening to hear from you.

Priscilla, my daughter, already got a phone call from FEMA today. They couldn't reach her on her cell phone and she gave them my cell number as a back up. Smart kid.

Got a call from Kay today. She said her and Joe tried to drive home this morning. They only made it as far as Meridian, Mississippi. They couldn't get any gas from there on and the traffic was miles long getting into the city. You've got to have enough gas to get you in and back out again. There is no gas for miles and miles away. You also have to have enough food and water to last till you leave. They are also asking that no one travel alone.

Sharon called from Houston. They are traveling in a 3 car caravan. Someone in Hattiesburg got them gas for 3/4 of a tank for each car. They will be going to a town south of Houston called El Campo. Sharon's sister found a house there. They will all bunk in together. Blessed Be!

Bob and I are doing okay still. I find myself getting depressed alot. I think I need a real good cry. I'm sure I'll get it soon enough but just not yet.
