The bad gets worse.

The water keeps rising. The snow keeps falling. Work was cancelled for me today because of the blizzard conditions.

I'm getting scared. The drainage ditch about a block away from our house is getting very full. It drains into the Missouri River, which is dangerously close to flooding.

I moved our treasured possessions upstairs from the basement – just in case.

If you can spare any prayers, we'll take all that we can get.
