Good morning. I hope that you are having a good week. I am glued to the TV trying to keep up with what is happening in Houston. To say that I am heartsick is putting it mildly. There are so many people suffering and displaced from their homes and it just seems as if it keeps getting worse by the day. Please keep all of these people in your prayers, they need them now more than ever. And if you can donate please do.
