Pray for your love ones and those who suffer. Get ready for the worse on time (including repenting of your sins). Help those in trouble as if they were your own folk. The impossible is God''s business.

I hope Ike spares Texas.
Except for a particular ranch in Crawford.

Squeak: "Judge not lest ye be judged". Jesus said that.

Oh so true, see Matthew 7. I guess a hypocrit doesn''t see what he is doing is wrong. Am I also at fault for calling him out? Am I judging him also? I often wonder this.

As for me I will continue to read my Bible and see what is in there for myself.

As of 10:00 AM CDT, 11 Sept:

Still "only" a Cat 2 storm, but with a central pressure more reminiscent of Cat 4 hurricanes at 27.88 there''s room for growth. Speaking of which, Ike now has a sphere of influence even larger than Katrina and Floyd, previously the two largest hurricanes observed since we''ve had satelite observation. Ike''s hurricane force wind field spreads across an incredible 230 miles. If he touches land at Freeport, as expected, a stretch of Gulf coast from Corpus Christi clear to Cameron LA will feel that wrath. Anyone from Brownsville to New Orleans can expect steady winds of tropical storm force.
This is a biggie. Don''t be fooled by Ike''s COMPARATIVELY weak winds. I''ve seen automobiles flipped over onto their tops in 60 mph gales; Ike can cover a circle 500 miles in diameter with winds of 60 or greater.
Such a broad wind field means there is a helluva lot of water being pushed ahead of this bad boy. An "Integrated Kinetic Energy" scale has been developed to determine the destructiveness of storm surge impacts from hurricanes. The scale ranges from 1 to 6. Ike is a 5.7, higher than any previous storm since 1935. Experts are predicting 20 foot surges for Galveston and roughly the same or slightly less for Houston. Those of you who live there know how much of your city is more than 20 feet above MSL. Someting to consider when deciding whether to stick it out ot head for higher ground.

Crisis brngs out the best in (most of) us - -
Volunteers, churches, government(s), military, communities all reach out to assist - - except "big oil"
In anticipation of the potential or possible loss of some of their excessive profits they raise gasoline prices - even for evacuees who might lose their business, their home, and even loved ones.
Excuses, excuses, excuses - - -
Where''s the outrage ?

I believe the Republicans would have a better chance in being saved by God than the Democrats! Think about what most Republicans believe and then look at what the Democrats believe!

______________

Post a lie enough time and soon everyone will begin to believe?

So tell me what it is that the repubs believe in that will get them into heaven. Big business and screw your neighbor and keep the poor poor (see Mark 10 16-23), $$$ for the rich and crumbs for the poor (see Luke 18: 19-31); See also Matthew 7; Matthew 5; Mark 12 38-44 (pay special attention to verse 43 & 44)

I see more Christian values from Demos, with the ecxception of abortion, which I consider a horrible sin. More Demos reaching out to help the underpriviledege, minorities, homless, hungry, naked than I do Repubs. I see Repubs helping the wealthy and not living very Christian. remember Jesus himself warns us that at the end of time many will come to him saying "Lord, Lord'' and he will tell them I know you not. For when I was hungry you didn''t clothe me,thirsty you didn''t give me to drink (not enough to put it all here, but see Matthew 25:31-46. I could keep on if room allowed

I live in Austin, and fully expect lots of downed trees and big limbs, which means loss of electricity. People here never get overgrowth trimmed back. We had a very minor storm here 3 weeks ago and you wouldn''t believe the damage all those falling limbs caused.
IKE is very large in area, and expected to still have tropical storm force winds deep into Texas.
