Hurricane Gustav
Greetings to all! I am sending this message from my buddy's house. We all had to get the heck out of dodge due to Hurricane Gustav! I sent my family to Houston and I am about 30 miles north of my house. We have huge oak trees in front of our house and the hurricane is going to pass almost right over us. I just wanted to ask everyone to please pray for all of us here in Louisiana, for our saftey and that the damage that Gustav brings in minimal. The storm is coming through tomorrow around 8:00pm. As soon as the power is back up and we have assessed the damages I will let you all know how we are doing. Also, please pray for Dude, he had his tonsils out last Thursday and poor thing is not feeling well, spent 9 hours in the car yesterday, and got very little sleep. Thanks for all the prayers in advance and will update you again soon. Much Love, The Cantrells

Praying for you guys and misseed seeing you, but so adored seeing your beautiful wife and adorable kiddos!! can't wait to see you all again!!!

Your family is covered in prayer.
I just came across this...
Jesus, Savior, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea
Unknown waves before me roll
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal
Chart and compass come from Thee
Jesus, Savior, pilot me
As a mother stills her child
You can hush the oceans wild
Boisterous waves obey Thy will
When You say to them, Be still
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea
Jesus, Savior, pilot me
When at last I near the shore
And the fearful breakers roar
Grant me and the peaceful rest
Then, while leaning on Your chest
May I hear You say to me
Fear not, I will pilot thee
love to you and yours
courtney & jeremy

"God is our soul refreshment in this thirsty world"...praying for all of you through the STORM...
Hope your house fared okay with Gustav. You've all been in my prayers. I have Cate's prayer card on the wall beside my computer, and say a quick prayer for you when I look at it. It's actually beside a prayer you might like, "Prayer Before a Crucifix" by the Passionist Fathers:
"My Crucified Christ"
I adore the wounds in Thy Sacred Head
with sorrow deep and true.
May every thought of mine today
be an act of love for You.
I adore the wounds in Thy Sacred Hands
with sorrow deep and true.
May every work of my hands today
be an act of love for You.
I adore the wounds in Thy Sacred Feet
with sorrow deep and true.
May every step I take today
be an act of love for You.
I adore the wound in Thy Sacred Heart
with sorrow deep and true.
May every beat of my heart today
be an act of love for You.
I had an ultrasound today; we found out we were pregnant right around the time I started praying for Cate, and I was just sure it was finally a girl (we have 2 girls and 5 boys). I had even thought about naming it Catherine. Alas, God has chosen to bless us with yet another son instead. We're praising Him anyway, as the little one looks hearty and healthy so far (a concern since I'm diabetic). Asking Cate to watch over him, me, and especially all of you!

"With sword of bitter grief--
Our shriveled hearts, our
darkened souls:
Send, O God, relief!!!
Prayers that you are all safe and that your home fared well in the storm.
In Christ, The Volpes
