Ike...and a few other things

Hi again!

In case you didn't notice, I was able to put up a slide show in the top right corner of some pics from this semester so far. I'll be updating those quite often, so please check back. I'm sure they'll provide a good laugh if nothing else.

Things have been going very well the last few weeks. My worship team was actually up for morning chapel yesterday and today. We ended up getting pretty much preempted yesterday because of 9/11, but it was an awesome time of prayer and worship.

And in other news, our apartment was fumigated this week. Julie started waking up with bug bites all over her, so we called maintenance and they are going to be fumigating two more times over the next few weeks. Though yesterday's seemed to work, since she had no new bites this morning. :-) thank God!

Finally, we come to the big news of the week...Ike! I cannot even count the number of texts, emails, comments, etc. I've received from everyone back home. And since I don't have a tv, it really started freaking me out. But we've been keeping up with the latest online and so far everything seems to be ok. Late tonight into tomorrow it will probably hit us. We're in a tropical storm wind advisory (up to 40 mph) and, of course, heavy rains. But we won't be evacuating or anything like that. Actually, we've got quite a few evacuees headed this way from the coast. So, I will keep you updated on how things are throughout the weekend. And of course, all of your prayers are greatly appreciated!

Love & miss you all! Stay safe & dry...like I'll be trying to do! :-)
