"'Katrina' - The Storms Of Storms"

Myself, like most of you, have been watching CNN, FOX News Network, and other stations, report on the deadly hurricane named "Katrina."

As I watch and see the pictures, and hear the stories of people dieing, families being seperated, and people having to leave everything behind; all their posessions, their homes, and the life they had created for themselves, my heart hangs heavy.

It is difficult for us, who have not been directly affected, to really understand fully this kind of devastation and displacement. But, we need to try.

Why!?! Because it is our fellow man...our brothers and sisters...our fellow Americans, who have been affected! We MUST care!

Take a look at the map located here:

Follow the instructions for navigating within the map, and look at some of the depths, etc., and see if it doesn't open up your mind and heart as to what really happened in New Orleans. It opened up mine!

Also, if you feel the need and want to give to the relief effort please do so through the Red Cross and/or the Salvation Army. The links to these two organizations are in the right hand side bar of this site.

Remember: We are Americans...and all Americans MUST help each other.

Let's continue with our thoughts, actions, and prayers for our displaced brothers and sisters...our fellow Americans... that have been affected by this terrible, terrible, tragedy.
