You can add my little (early 20's) brother to the prayer list, he just got notice from the National Guard that he may be deployed to Louisiana. His needs won't be the same as the hurricane victims of course, except for God's protection from the criminal element in the city and from disease and fatigue. I heard they will probably have them working 18 to 20 hour days from a recruiter on the radio the other day.
Prayers sent for your brother.
Prayers for your brother and all the guardsmen (and women) deployed to LA. May they stay out of harms way.
I have added your brother to my Prayer List, PaL. (and also noticed you are going to be on vacation next week?) Hope it's a good one!
