Here in the States it is Labor Day. A day that is designated as a celebration of the social and economic achievement of the American workers. It is a time to play, rest, picnic, enjoy. So I wish everyone a wonderful and picture perfect Labor Day.

I am grateful. I am blessed.

I know that there are those who are concerned for their homes and their safety because of Hurricane Gustav. In the moment I am writing this, Gustav is weakening. I pray that continues, that your safety is insured and that somehow something powerfully positive does come out of this experience for you.
