Prayer Warriors needed here ping!
May they rest in peace with GOD.
There is a reason it's been so quite. FEMA modeling said over 50k could die in a situation like this.. I sure hope they are way off.
How unspeakably horrible. I can only shake my head.
I had a feeling this was coming ... so many people made the fatal mistake of trying to ride it out. God bless the survivors and please give strength to the rescuers who have such a hard job to do. God bless America. God ... bless ... America.

Time to suspend United States foreign aid until further notice.
Oh Lord please, I humbly ask that you accept the souls of those who lost their lives into your loving arms. And I ask that you please help heal the hearts of those who are left here to morn their loss.
Mississippi ping.
Oh, Dear Lord...
I am not sure if anyone else caught this but on CNN Monday morning two students, a male and female, from Tulane (I think) were being interviewed. One, the male, was wearing a tie-dye peace sign T-shirt.
When asked why he stayed in New Orleans he said, chuckling and sounding and acting much like Jeff Spicoli, "My parents wanted me to stay" then said "This is fun." Maybe not exact quotes but close to it. I wonder how this child feels now?
When you hear from your friend again, please let him know that all Americans are so grateful for people like him, our paramedics. They save our lives every day, and now in a crisis like this, they are the only hope for so many. God bless him.
I just can't pray hard enough for the people who have been caught up in this horrifying tragedy. :(
I have been expecting this considering the lack of commucnications and resources.
Oh my, just oh my. This is reality hitting hard. I've been dreading this news.
My God, I was afraid this was going to happen. I lived there for two and half years on my sailboat when I worked at Mississippi Army Ammunition Plant. For those of you that are familiar with my post about my boat, "Georgia Peach II" and "Peaches the Cat" who lived with me, this is where I was talking about. I had the boat in both Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis. I have lost part of my life. Please pray for these poor people.
Worse than Galveston 1900.
That is terrible :-(
Heavenly Father, we come to You with heavy hearts. Oh Lord, SUCH devastation...
Lord, please help the living, help them be rescued very soon. Comfort the families who've lost their loved ones and their homes. Time is running out for so many, Lord. I pray for all of the rescue workers, for the police, the National Guard...Lord, give them the strength they're going to need to deal with this tragic situation.
We pray, God, for the children, for the ill, for the elderly. Lord, I ask you to soften the hearts of the looters, to make them STOP now...to stop this madness.
Oh Lord, we're hurting...please hear our prayer. In Your Holy Name,
Amen
Thank you for sharing this. I thought the numbers would go up, but not like this. Dear L-rd help them.
It's definitely time for us all to give our knees a workout!
Heath Carpenter, with Mississippi Emergency Mgt., is on WDSU saying the toll could triple from the 100 or so reported now. He said they are working with the coroner to confirm deaths. He says he doesn't want loved ones to give up hope.
