New Orleans

I've been to New Orleans too many times. I was there in January of this year in fact. As I watch the footage on CNN I see some of the places where I've stayed and visited and it makes the disaster a bit more personal.

Some pundits are predicting, now with the levy breaking, that New Orleans will be something we study about in history classes. Some are blaming the erosion of the "wetlands", some are blaming the president. Seems everybody has a comment.

I don't have my profundity to share. Just the realization that my life is suddenly less complicated when I see the families who have lost everything. I wonder what I can do -- besides some hallowed prayer -- for those that have lost so much.
