I Wish I Could Do More

Out of all the heart wrenching stories and images pertaining to New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina, the images of the mother's begging for food for their babies and trying to take care of their children in this scenario...I am a loss for words
Sitting here reading these stories does not seem enough. Donating the few dollars I can does not seem enough. Like with all disasters our instincts are to go right there and physically help, but that is always more of a hindrance then a help-provided you can even get there.

I have not blogged much on this because I have very little to add to the very up-to-date bloggers and news casts.

I attended school in New Orleans, at Xavier University of Louisiana. I would link to it, but the site is down. It was a good school, the only Catholic Historically Black College founded by St. Katherine Drexel. Two of my bridesmaids were classmates and I pray that they and their families are well.
I have lost touch with them, not out of any conflict, but over the happenings of life. I am so sorry and I hope God forgives me.
