Are you praying for the folks in the Midwest? Iowa is a most beleaguered state. Those in Iowa City need fortitude, patience, and peace to face the monumental task of rebuilding oh so much of their city.

Pray, too, for the countless thousands facing the flood waters that are inexorably working their way down south. Days and days of wondering and worrying and frenetic work to try and stave off terrible damage.

Small towns, bits of our history perched along the Mississippi River, could be wiped out forever.

Heartache. Sorrow. Loss of life, livelihoods, and memories. So many need so much in a time when far too many philanthropic pockets are empty and cupboards bare. Volunteers are tired. National Guardsmen stretched thin.

Cover them all in prayer...
