Amen.

I couldn't get to sleep last night, and couldn't sleep this morning. Grew up in New Orleans, moved away in 1959, moved back in 1975, moved away again in 1987, but still love the place. And the people.

This is the first year we haven't gone back for a visit. We always go for my birthday/Labor Day, but this year are staying home to put down new flooring. Lucky for us.

I know, LA is so rich in history, culture and beautiful architecture I try to pray focused on the people, but the mind plays tricks and sees the Cathedral, the Garden District, the beautiful parks....then back to the important thing, the safety of the people.
