1. I sponsor a child in Matamoros,

and suddenly sponsoring a child seems a lot more real. He's in an orphanage there, left by his mother as an infant. He goes to a public school, and is cared for by the orphanage staff. We write each other, and I send extra funds at holidays (not supposed to send in-kind gifts, but let the staff decide what he needs). I've really come to care for him.

A little while ago, the Weather Channel showed a projected "cone of possibility" or whatever they call it. Matamoros is smack in the middle of it!! I'm worried sick! I've e-mailed the orphanage (which I'm not supposed to do--all communication is supposed to be through the mission board, but the orphanage has a website with contact info, so hey!) to ask if I could wire extra money to help get him to a safe place, whether my church could do something to help the other kids, etc.

I'm just worried sick. And feeling helpless. It may be as strong as a cat 5 when it hits Mexico.

Worried, worried, worried.

4. Mexico may be hit as late as Wednesday

They say that by then it may be a cat 5. That's what scares me. But I hope the early warning means people--including David and the others at the orphanage--have time to evacuate.

Here's NOAA's predicted path thru Thursday:

3. that's a bad looking hurricane

and it hasn't hit the warm waters of the gulf yet.

it's bad enough already, let's hope that it doesn't devastate Jamaica or anywhere else... scary storm though for sure.
