Arkansas Update

[dhalltoyo]

I spoke with arkjarhead last night.

He was in West Memphis; therefore, the status of his home was unknown. He did tell me that the river threatening his home was due to crest today.

Joe asked for prayer. His father-in-law is hospitalized in Pine Bluff. Terry has been battling cancer and they were in the process putting him on a vent. As of last night, Joe and Robyn were making plans to travel to Pine Bluff.

Let's all remember arkjarhead, his wife and Terry (father-in-law) in our prayers.

PS. How bad is the flooding in Arkansas?

Watch this video clip of a house floating down the river.

Well Rev 1/3 of Arkansas counties are diaster areas. I'm assuming that's just state disater areas. I think we are going to be alright at the house. The river is high and rolling, but about 2 feet from the yard. If it would just hurry up and crest. It is expected to crest in about 4 hours, or 3 pm central time. Airplanes are flying around like crazy.

My father in law is on the vent now. Robyn and I sit in the ICU waiting room with my mother in law until about 0330 this morning. Then we went home to get some sleep. If I don't get my sleep I will have a seizure, and we only need one person in the hospital right now. Thanks for all prayers, and Rev thanks for updating everyone. I know my life seems like a soap oprea or something, but I'm glad somone will listen. Thanks everyone.
