Today (what is left of it) is my father’s birthday. Happy birthday, Dad. :-) I don’t have much to say. Please pray for my best friend, Beth, who lives in Houston. She called me tonight to say that they were on their way to Dallas (where her husband’s family lives) to escape the possible/probable destruction of Hurricane Rita.

She’s the kind who, when you offer her a…
