Katrina and Faith

I've been away from blogging for a while, mainly because it seems the comment section gets used by advertisers and sinners. I didn't want to be a conduit for such.

Then Katrina came to town. I had relatives (pronounced: "evacuees" in my home seeking shelter. I found myself getting nervous and stressed with the change in my "normal" routines. Then, I would think how much they had to be stressed due to the total change in their "NORMAL" state of being. Shame is such a good instructor.

New Orleans, and all that we love and hate about it, was, is, and will be a special place. The Mississippi and Alabama gulf coast is special. The gulf coast areas of the former "Spanish-west Florida" has more in common with each other across the state borders than these areas have with the norhtern parts of their respective states. Katrina has become another bind that ties these areas together and waves our way of life in front of the rest of the United States and the world. We really are more like a Carrebean country than a New England "Yankee."
