My friend Ellie in Florida has asked me to ask you to include her state in your prayers. No problem with that. I love Florida. We have tons of blog friends there and lots of dear family as well. Here's hoping Irma goes back out to sea or sends her waters where they are most needed... to put out the horrific fires.

From Ellie, "I am waiting to see if Irma gives us a direct hit or turns to the east. It is a cat 5 now and should be here by the week end. If it gets into the gulf it can turn all ways from Texas to Florida. Please add Florida to your prayer list. So many farmers here that stand to lose every thing if we get hit by a cat 5. I am on the highest elevation if the area so probably no flooding. If I flood the whole town will be under water by then. Prays please and asks your blogging friends for prayers for Florida."

Thank you.
ReplyDeleteEllie, oh. how I hope this misses you!
ReplyDeleteIt is looking like it will go east a little now, if so we will get lots of wind and 8 to 10 inches of rain they say.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. It's so scary. My kid-sis and her husband are up here from Florida and will stay with us until it's safe to return. They have a home that sits on St. Petersburg Beach. Right up against the beach.
ReplyDeleteEllie, hope it isn't too awful anywhere. As I may have mentioned I love Florida and a lot of the people there....
ReplyDeleteCathy, oh, dear. Glad they are safe with you. My brother is off in Oregon on vacation and I am more than a little concerned.....
