Bracing for the big one...

If you have watched the national news the last few days then this is no news to you, Fargo is gearing up for possibly the worst flood in the cities history. You can read all about it on the the Fargo Forum (the city newspaper) website.

They are projecting over 40 feet of flooding possibly by the end of today or tomorrow morning. I just checked it here and it is now at 38.43 feet (major flood stage is 30 feet). If you want to get updates via twitter you can go here.

Please keep John, Abby, and baby Julia in your prayers. They are safe and seem not to be threatened by the flood directly, but it does affect travel and stress level quite a bit.

In other news...

I (Jeremy) am making my first radio debut this Saturday in Jacksonville. Actually my father-in-law is making the real debut. He has started a weekly radio show called "Journeys with Christ" that will air on WAY Radio 550 AM in Jacksonville every Saturday night at 11pm Eastern time. It is a real neat story of how this got started, I'll share the quick version.

For over a year now my father-in-law, Carldon Lahey, has been running a nonprofit foundation called Christ's Starfish Foundation. Their primary focus has been helping kids with noncancerous diseases in the Jacksonville area (there are two foundations in Jax that help kids with cancer).

The foundation started after Carldon had a health scare well over a year ago. It really woke him up to what he was living for and what he was doing to make a difference in the lives of hurting people. So he started the foundation as a way to share the love of Christ with hurting people.

That is where the radio show comes in. Carldon realized that there were all kinds of ordinary people doing extraordinary things and their stories needed to be told. So back in November we started working on the first show. Just this past weekend with finished it up and sent it off to the station. I play a very small role in the whole thing, but I am truly proud to be a part of it and honored to have a father-in-law that is so passionate about helping others.

You can listen to the show via the web here, just click the "Listen Online" button. It starts at 11pm Eastern Standard Time (that's 10pm CT for those in Bowling Green, Nashville, Fargo).
