Its OK.

I can understand how my post might be misinterpreted.

Its hard for people to understand "How can God allow such a thing to happen?"

I had a son born with severe birth defects. Its a natural thing to think. But when you find yourself leaning on the Lord more closely, and the warmth and love that comes from that, you realize that His blessings come in many ways.

My family is praying for all of the people in N.O. Even those who are living for themselves at the detriment of others. We are praying that they will come to realize the error of their ways.

If your family has faith, this might turn out to be one of the greatest things that ever happened to them. That might sound hard to believe, but I believe it to be true.

'I had a son born with severe birth defects"

I put myself through Ball State University as an aide in a CP ward of Turtle Creek Home for Children. I was 19 and given charge of the nursery. I had 14 kids from 2 to 19 that I cared for over 5 years until graduate school at Notre Dame. I worked at a Turtle Creek in geriatrics there in South Bend. Lots of Priests could never explain "How God could allow this" better than Mrs. Sisson She was an Army corp Nurse that had a CP child of her own. Thanks for accepting my apology...it is important for me to say to you that my abrupt behavior was wrong. Thanks friend!
