Thank you for the good you are doing.
I wish I could be by your side, but know that at least my thoughts are.

Another hurricane possibly this week?

My husband, who's heavily into weather, says there's some indication New Orleans may get hit again... Late this week? Have you heard anything about this?

None of the three cyclones out there now are aimed that way, they'd have to shift quite a lot to hit NO:

Of course, things do shift. But currently, there's nothing aimed that way.

I don't know what your transportation is like, but my friend has offered her sofa.

Take care.

I have never doubted the good outnumber the bad, but the bad do seem to get better press coverage. : (

I attend a Methodist church in Beltsville, MD. A special collection was taken up on Sunday to send to the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), which is coordinating the Church's response to Katrina. So, I had to smile when I read that you are staying at a Methodist church. :-)

Some of the good stories have started to filter out, at least on NPR. I hope you are as well as you can be there!!!!!!!

Don't forget to post/email if you need ANYthing!

I'm keeping you in my prayers. And someone very dear to me may be joining you in helping.

I have read your journal off and on for about a year now. This is the first time i've commented. My home was in New Orleans. There is nothing left. I have no home, barely any clothes, and no job, and i am one of the lucky ones. Thankyou for taking such a big part in making the people less fortunate then me more comfortable. They are my neighbors, friends, and family and I could never thank you enough.
