Hurricane Aftermath

Its hard to really write anything witty right now, when all the attention I have is on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I keep flipping into CNN and its like watching a bad horror movie with too many people doing too much "fingerpointing". After 9/11 we should be able to pull together, not turn this into a political arena.

My heart goes out to all of those affected by this hurricane, and their families and friends. Right now we all need to worry about working together as a NATION and less on the "coulda, shoulda woulda". The hurricanes Florida faced last year, (and my first to experience) were bad, yes ... however we were prepared. Those poor people were not given enough of a warning and remember, Mother Nature can toss a curve ball pretty quick.

All in all - if you have a moment, please contribute to the Red Cross who, along with our brave soldiers, are working to restore order and help those people affected. Even if its only $1.00, heck - that is $1.00 more than they would have had should you not donate. I heard on the radio the other day, this 6 year old girl opened up her piggy bank and asked her mom to bring her to a radio station fundraiser so she could please give it to the "hurt people". Can I tell you I about burst into tears. That child will be blessed, as will all who help in any sort of way, even if its just saying a quick prayer for those poor souls trapped in this hell.

Lets all work together and remind everyone that we are ONE NATION under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

One final thanks, to all the churches in Houston who are taking care of the refugees. I was so happy to hear that Pastor Joel Osteen and Lakewood Church were lending a hand.

Have a good night.
