Agreed. God is active in history and he does punish people with natural phenomena for sinning against Him. Is that what this is? Maybe. But, I wouldn't say it would be so much on New Orleans per say but on America for the many sins she has tolerated for some time. Between our abortions, our rapes, our murders, our promotion of homosexuality, and most recently and most significantly our betrayal of Israel by pushing her to give up Gaza and other pieces of Israel to terrorists, I believe what we are seeing at the least is a lifting of God's hand of protection. We scream out at every turn "we don't need God" then are perplexed that he might oblige us.
I pray that the people are spared. They break my heart. But when I heard Shep Smith's comments from the bar on Bourbon street earlier this afternoon, I couldn't help but think about Matthew 24:37-39
37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
So many are just brushing this off. Eating, drinking, shrugging their shoulders as they face a watery grave.
May God have mercy on our nation.
AccuWeather.com guy on FoxNews says 50-70% of N. O. 'will' be under water by tomorrow night.
Drudge just reported 901 mb pressure
Ah, I saw that guy's post; he wasn't "just" expressing his religious views!
I'm very sorry for you. Very sad. The weather news remains very bad for NO. Pray it turns more sharply to the east and blows away the Mississippi casinos if you are selfish. But are know you are not. You just feel a personal pain, from which there is no escape. None.
...."And for all who are going to be impacted, I pray."
We are all going to be affected. Gas prices are only one thing that will be affected by the ruination caused by the storm and it's aftereffects. Everything that's shipped on the Mississippi will be affected. That means Walmart.
That hits home.
How about a valium update?
I need one and don't have one!
I don't even understand why the reporters are there - it's a bad example, and false sense of security.
High tide in the area is....7am cdt, on average. However, it's only about an 18inch tidal rise.
I think they're exagerating. But that's just my opinion.
Is it just me or does it seem like she and the storm should get a room? She sounds like she gets hot just talking about it.
"I am calling my kids in Foley, Alabama and telling them to repent quick."
I'm a teatotaller in Montana - if its not coming here, I'm going to the cathouse to party.
It's kind of funny you should mention that she calls him serpenthead. The very first time I ever saw Bill Clinton speak (TV), I thought HE looked like a serpent.
< Like NN, I took a nap & all heck broke loose??? ;-) >
The evening crew has been a bit wild compared to this morning and afternoon.
I've been here all day. I'm about to catch some shut-eye now. My bell rings at 5 am eastern.
Prayers sent upward for NO.
assuming , of course, the foundation elements aren't washed away.
Adding my prayers to yours for your family.
And, so much history and culture in N.O. that could be lost forever. It would be a tragedy if it were gone.
A a big chunk of U.S. history torn out in a day?
Please. God, let that not happen.
Now, I'll put my kids to bed, while praying that this M************r of a hurricane doesn't destroy New Orleans and kill innocent people.
>>>At 160 mph, the wind loading is about 65pounds per square foot.
Dang. At that rate, I would blow away...and I'm by no means tiny...
Prejudice? Are you intimating that only one ethnicity has a propensity for crack addiction?
If so, then you are the one that is racist.
