Pray

I have such a heavy heart. I can't say I keep up with current events a ton. But here and there. And I guess I just didn't realize how big of a threat hurricane Gustav. I mean obviously it's a threat in all but I thought it would turn into nothing and pass on by.
Well, i was driving yesterday and today I started to notice that the parking lot of two hotels, next to us were getting fuller and fuller. So as I was driving to the gym today I saw a sign for RED CROSS SHELTER. It took me back, here people our fleeting to here.
While at the gym I was listening to the news instead of my latest jams and I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had to fight the urge to stop and cry. It's so heartbreaking for these people, to leave and hope for the best and not know when and what they will go back to. So once I reached the hotels on my way home I decided to drive around and see if my suspicions were right, and they were. Car and after car. LOUISIANA plate. And a couple MISSOURI.
So I stopped and talked(I know I'm weird) to a couple people seeing how long they would be staying and if there was anything I could do. They declined saying that all of them are just glued to the TV hoping for the best.
So can you take a minute and say a prayer for these dear people?
