Sometimes you can walk into Southside and they do not always cook that sausage enough and it stinks!

My daughter is in a part of Ms that got hit sorta by Rita and pray for them because they dont have a running car even right now. I have called my mother in law and if it comes as far inland as they are suspecting she has assured me our aunt and uncle will go get her but its just hard knowing she is there w no car and no phone to know if she is safe or not.
Also my husbands rig.... thats another story we wont go into right now

Yes, Pastor Doug White's church was pretty much destroyed, at least some of it. He now has the new building up and in the dry, but another hurricane hit would really cause damage, since it's still in construction stages. He is a bit stressed, I'm sure. We need to pray for him and his saints.

I think they may have jumped the gun on this one BUT the flip side is IF they don't evacuate early there wouldn't be enough time to evacuate everyone.
Plus the metorogist are saying there is a High pressure system that is pushing it more east.
We will wait until tomorrow to make a decision.
Just pray we make the right one.

Exactly!
I don't wish it on anyone, but I sure enough don't want it here. Maybe it could die a sudden death out in the gulf.

Re: Hurricane Gustav
My oldest son works on a "jack up" oil rig. That is one that does not float but actually has legs that extend down to the ocean floor.
A lot of the time it is just in 50-100 feet of water but right now it is extended as far as it can reach which is over 200 feet down.
When it is fully extended it does not have the same rigidity / stableness that it has in shallower water. He said that when the wind hit 25-35 mph before they were evacuated that the rig was swaying enough that some of the guys were getting seasickness.
I sure hope it can withstand the 115+ miles of a catagory three hurricane or he may not have a rig to go back to!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
