Good morning, FRiends. Although we're over in Lafayette, both my husband's and my families (as well as all our friends) live in the Greater New Orleans area. Our hometown seems on the brink of total destruction. To say I'm upset and scared is an understatement.
For those of you who are of the praying-persuasion, I've posted a Prayer Against Storms on my homepage. It's an old, Catholic prayer - but you don't have to necessarily be Catholic to pray it. Anyone so inclined, please take one minute and join me in saying it. It is a POWERFUL prayer if said with faith. I truly believe only God can save New Orleans now, and while it won't make this beast go away - it may be enough to help in someway. Only God knows. All I know is that "with God, all things are possible." Thank you.
AMEN
