soul food: *sigh* $50 ain't enough!

I was happy to see an old friend's blog today. soul food: *sigh* $50 ain't enough! Everyone needs to get involved when disaster strikes. Charity and compassion in times of advervity is a large part of what defines humanity. The strength to give aid to those less fortunate without thought of compensation.

The images coming out of the Gulf are staggering, but we must not freeze in our tracks. Action is needed by everyone who can help. Get the word out ot others, contribute whatever you can. The need is immediate and critical.

Katrina

Struck Dumb by Katrina 's Fury

The past several days I have watched many places I have known and loved, swept away by the brunt of Katrina's tidal surge and deadly winds. Familiar places twisted out of all recognition. A place I have called paradise turned into a wrecked and littered vista of misery. The size of the disaster is so big that it's hard to get your head around it.

Worse than that is wondering if those you hold dear are safe and healthy. Many areas are still inaccessable, downed trees and electrical lines must be cleared to get in and find out the magnitude of the loss. For the moment all I can do is wait, hope and pray for those who have been through so much danger and privation.

I need to sleep. Rest has been hard to find the past few days. To all those who find their lives storm tossed tonight know you are in our prayers. Be well, be safe, be happy. I'll see you again soon.
