Hello,

Its me. We are alive and well, but I have Major property damage as do thousands of other people around here. I did manage to get a generator and I am shocked that I have phone line (land lines cell are dead). I have DSL so I can make a report.

THis place is beat up badly. My own home had most the shingles ripped of the east side om my house and it is leaking like a all offer the house every time it rains. I had two large Oaks in my yard knocked down. One fell on my garage and a car. We have food and water to last a week or so. I only have a little gasoline so I will not be able to poist often. It will only be on for a few hours every day to keep the Refridgerator cold. We will let the kids watch a dvd then as well.

Thanks for the prayers and please continue to do so.

The Lord bless y'all.

Kenith

Praise God that you're safe and sound. I'll be sharing your news with those on my prayer chain.

I am very thankful that you are safe! I hope you will soon be able to sort out all the problems. I also hope that this storm gives you ample opportunity to testify to others....

All glory to the Lord!

Praying for you and your family

Thanks. I have the generator on for a couple of hours. We are under lock down here. There are national guard and policve at every entrance into this town and many others in east Texas ans SW Louisiana. You can leave but it is very hard to get in, unless you are like me and work at an oil refinery. The Gov. wants us here.

I SENT MY WIFEW AND CHILDREN AWAY to friends who live about 70 miles east. They have electricity, etc...

it is very HOT and MUGGY. but I have plenty of food and water. We are not New Orleans, so there are very few looters, but there are a few, so I am watching my place and my neighbours homes also. I am well armed ( it is a Southern thing) so all should be ok. Looters are cowards and don't like to mess with others who have guns.

Keep us in your prayers. My widowed sister-in-law has a pine tree that fell through her house. Most of the heavy damage here is from uprooted or broken trees. It is unbelievable. iT LOOKS like a bomb went off in most neighbour hoods.

God has been good. Things could have been much worst the storm lost 50 MPH of her winds before she hit. She had gotten to 175 mph winds but hit at 125 mph winds. The damage from 125 is awesome. I don,t think my house would be here at all if Rita had stayed at 175.

GOtta go

Thanks for the prayers.

.Thanks. I have the generator on for a couple of hours.

I hate to state the obvious - but deaths reported so far have been from generator fumes. Keep your windows open please.

Glad to hear your wife and children are safe. Sounds like you will have your hands full for some time to come between your home repairs, assisting with your family and friends situations, plus getting the refinery up and running.

Don't forget to pay attention to yourself, make sure you're getting adequate rest and food. I know I don't need to tell you to spend time w the Lord

 

[Cajun Huguenot]

I appreciate the concern. My generator is outside under my porch and I have extension cords running into the house. So it nis running safely. Some folks have asphyxiated themselves? Unbelievable.

We are looking forward to a cool front coming through here in a few days. It is 95 deg. with a heat index of 105-110. 100% humidity. Yuck.

Food and water are available and therte a workcrews from the power company out in force. It may be a couple of months in some areas before power is resatored.

In Christ our Saviour's name,
Kenith

Hey Kenith glad to hear you are ok. How did Dr. Mike fair? How about the PCA Church down there on Mcneese st.? I'll probably have to go home to Kinder this weekend to clean up my parents yard and thought I'd try to make it down for service if they are having one.

 

[Cajun Huguenot]

Everyone is OK. I am staying at the house trying to fix up and clean up. Mike has been commuting between here and Arkansas

Mike's family is in Arkansas, but his house and property are fine. Mike is on his way back from Arkansas. He went there to pick up a couple of diesel generators for his inlaws. They live in Ragly and have no power, water or phones.

My property took a good hit. My garage is toast and I have major shingle damage, which allowed for some water damage inside, but it could have been much worse, and was for a lot of people.

My wife and kids are staying with some friends (PCA elderand his wife) who live in Grand Couteau. She brought me ice and tarps today. I hope she can bring gsoline tomorrow.

How did your folks come out of this storm?

Coram Deo,
Kenith

hey glad to see you are fine Cajun , and seeing as you have that gun in your hand , I will agree with every doctrine you say from now on

 

[drstevej]

Great to talk with you today Kenith. Prayers continue for you, your family and your area.

 

[edie19]

totally off subject - but this is the first time I've encountered Dr. Steve. Anyhow - love the picture of your boil, nothing in the world like em.

 

[reformedfan]

praise God, thanx fer the update, man.

 

[Cajun Huguenot]

praise God, thanx fer the update, man.

I am on generator backup power. the familyu is about 70 miles east. I'm still home guarding the homestead.

It is hot and muggy. The word today is it will be four weeks before we get power. I hope that is bad info. We will see.

The reports from here on will likely pbe pretty boring. "Worked hard nand sweated all day will do same tomorrow" etc...

I have to give praise to the Southern Baptist relief folk. They are here in force declaring the love of Christ by thier deeds. Most of them here are retire folk and they are feeding people (with food and Bibles), housing them, washing their (my) cloths, providing showers clearing downed trees. Most of the SBC folk working in my area are from Tennessee.

I praise God for them!!!

Coram Deo,
Kenith

 

[drstevej]

Praise God for our Southern Baptist brethren. In katrina they did a fantastic job too.

Praying for you, Kenith.

I will remember you said this. So now you are paedobaptist right (remember the guns are loaded)?

In Christ,
Kenith

Better be glad God sent Southern Baptists or your clothes would have only been sprinkled.
