I have been avoiding the whole Katrina thing, thinking same old hurricane stuff (bad I know, but I've become rather hardened when it comes to natural disasters), then I saw a couple newscasts and it really made me realize this is going to change a lot of people's lives, not to mention the idiots who are looting...

I've also been reading Patrick's Blogger and he is a refugee from there. He's having to face the realities of this.

Lord, I lift up the people of New Orleans and the other towns affected by this storm. I pray for sanity and order. A lot of people are going nuts and I pray that they will calm down and find you in the middle of this mess. I pray that families and friends will be reunited. I pray that people will be able to make a new start where they need to. Provide food and water for all of these people. I also pray that those not affected will open their hearts and do what they can for those affected. Amen.

I also wonder what will happen to the city... I was talking to a guy who thinks they should abandon the city. Think about it, you've got all that sewage and all that trash, plus the aligators, and the West Nile Virus... You've got a breeding ground for disease. Plus, if they have the right spot, this won't happen again. *shrugs* I could be wrong of course, they could sink billions into rebuilding...
