I'd love to be posting more, but, for now, life's complications are keeping me away from the blog.
Put in perspective, compared to the ongoing struggle after Katrina, and the challenges faced by those around me, my problems are mere temporary annoyances. So, I won't bore you with the details.
I did want you to know though, that regular posting will resume as soon as possible.
Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco has called for a Day of Prayer: (I'm giving the text in full.)
Governor
Kathleen Blanco: "As we face the devastation wrought by Katrina, as we
search for those in need, as we comfort those in pain and as we begin
the long task of rebuilding, we turn to God for strength, hope and
comfort.
I have declared August 31, 2005,
a Day of Prayer in the State of Louisiana. I am asking that all of
Louisiana take some time Wednesday to pray. Pray for the victims and
the rescuers. Please pray that God give us all the physical and
spiritual strength to work through this crisis and rebuild.
Please pray for patience for those anxiously waiting to hear from
family members or to get word about their homes. Pray for the safety of
our hard-working rescuers and those they are bringing to safety.
I know, by praying together on Wednesday, that we can pull together and
draw strength we need; strength, that only God can give us.
In
my prayers, I will also thank God for the strong and resilient people
of this state and how they are working to meet this challenge."

We see the images on TV, families ripped apart, homes destroyed, so many jobs lost. The problems are enormous. What can we do to help? Yet all of us can say a simple prayer.
Thousands need shelter and food. The Salvation Army is already there serving meals and passing out supplies. If you can, please stop by and donate to their efforts.
