Prayer Request and Praise

Prayer Request:

As you may or may not have heard, the Gulf Coast is bracing for Hurricane Gustav.  Everyone here is talking about how remarkably similar this hurricane is to Katrina.  We are in the process of stocking up on gas, batteries, nonperishables, ice, etc.  The storm is supposed to make land-fall on Tuesday.  Please keep us and, more importantly, those closer to the coast in your prayers over the next few days.  After Katrina, Jackson was without power for 8 days...

That being said... Ah-hem...

Praise:

WE. SOLD. OUR. HOUSE.  
This time for real!  The offer was made last week, but we didn't want to say anything because of how our last offer turned out.  However, this buyer wanted to close by Aug. 29th, which, if you'll notice is TODAY!  We signed all the paperwork yesteryday, the buyer signed yesterday, and we're just waiting for the lending agency to release financing which will either be today or Tuesday.  Thanks for all your many prayers for us through all this.  Now if only we can keep our Jackson house from the storm damage...
