Katrina

I am glued. Glued to the Katrina coverage. I can't stop watching. Actually, I did stop watching for a while earlier. Landry was in the room while I was watching Fox News. They were interviewing a man in Mississippi and were showing the destroyed homes in the background. She looked over at me with the most troubled look and said "Is our house going to look like that?" My heart sank. She was scared. It breaks my heart when she is scared. So, I can't even imagine what it would have been like to be trapped in an attic with her. Or wading through fire ant/snake/oil/sewage/bacteria-laden water. Or stuck in a lawless 100 degree football stadium with no food, water, toilets, anything. I cannot fathom it. Thank you, Lord, for not letting me have to.

I was just watching Larry King Live and he was interviewing a well known reverend, who I won't name. The preacher went on and on placing blame and was pointing fingers at how people were handling things. I agree that this has been a disaster, but I don't think anyone could have expected or prepared for this. Then, I turned the channel to Hannity and Colmes and they were interviewing Franklin Graham. Mr. Graham spent his interview not finger pointing, but providing solutions to how to deal with this. He spoke of how individuals, churches, and evacuees could get involved in the clean-up and rebuilding. Can we please hear more of Mr. Graham?
