Calm Before the Storm

Today has started out to be a great day.  Today is Jonathan's 7th Brithday and Kyrk and I's 10 anniversary.  So it is a day of celebration.  The sun is shining and I have my clothes hanging outside drying.  It is hard to imagine that we have a tropical storm heading straight for us later today.
Several of our workers are going around making sure that everything is tied down or put away, preparing for the storm.
We are thankful that several homes have been rebuilt, so many families have a safe, secure home to stay in during the storm, but at the same time there are still so many who are living in tents and poorly constructed tin shelters with tarps.  We are praying that people are able to find safe places to go while the storm passes.
Your prayers for the people of Haiti are appreciated as we wait for the storm to come later today.
