Katrina

I'm sorry but i really must talk about what has happened here in the united states.. i didn't have net service for a while because i had to chose things that my chlidren needed over the net.... God provides right...

It was such a disgrace what our own government put our fellow americans through.. we can jump and be across seas to help people with in 24 hours but when it happens in our own back yard it takes what 5 days to get there to help people.. People down there were starving and were being beatened and raped and with the heat it was terrible...

Me what could i do.. i prayed and i donated to the red cross... there is much that still needs to be done down there... But when i think about what they went through down there i still cry... For a while people were coming down on the police force for not doing there job and helping.. but they were there.. and the doctors and nurses and others who helped to save as many as they could... i'm proud of them and the police force that stayed.. some chose to leave to help there families.. my prayers go out to them too...

what i can't get over.. even a month later was how slow our country acted... i remember hearing that in one town a group from canada made it before our own government did... isn't that sad... we can't get through our own red tape but Canada sure could.. There was people being turned away who wanted to go in and help... i just can't get over it.. i can only pray that we will learn from this.. i can only pray that this never happens again... but to be honest.. i dont forsee there being much of a change.. If there ever is a next time and i pray there won't be... but if there ever is... there will be problems again.. look what happened with Rita... miles and miles of people backed up on the highway running out of gas and heat strokes and a bus exploding...

We need to pray that people will come together better next time.... prayers and luv.. jenny
