too deep for words.

My grandparents were in an accident yesterday morning - a propane tank blew up in their house. My grandma was not injured, but my grandpa was flown to the hospital and remains in guarded condition. Please pray for him. Pray for my grandma. Pray for their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. Pray for family members who are unable to make it home to be with family. Pray for my sister who leaves for her first year of college tomorrow and is still traumatized by the experience. Pray, pray, pray.

I have been clinging to Romans 8:26: "The Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what we ought to pray for, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words..."

Below are some of the news reports with more information about the accident.
