P is for....Prayers

I have been really busy and stressed lately...so I this is the first post I have made in a week. Originally my P entry was going to be for photography because it is one of my passions in life. However, from a development occuring in the past few days named Gustav, I am asking for prayers instead. I find it ironic that my last post over a week ago (before Gustav existed) was one honoring the rebirth of the wonderful city of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Now, the next entry is for prayers for the same city which is possibly facing another storm of great magnitude. There is already start of a major evacuation of New Orleans---somewhat humorously, somewhat not, all of the prisoners have been evacuated first....my mother saw it first handed.


So I now plead for prayers to whatever god/higher-being you might believe in...

Prayers for....
the people who are living in the city and throughout the Gulf Coast...the leaders of the city and state-that they get it right this time...the levees-that by some miracle they hold under a great storm...for those people who might not have the means to evacuate...for the children who were uprooted at the beginning of their freshman year of school (college or high school) and who are now facing the same threat as seniors...for those people who were not able to return to New Orleans but still have a great amount of love and adoration for the city...for those who have ever lived and loved in the city...it is a great place!!

Of course, I am praying the that the storm weakens or that it takes a sharp turn elsewhere, however it does not look like that is possible....but I will have faith that history will not repeat itself in this case!

One good thing out of this situation is that my wonderful sister is evacuating to Birmingham and getting to spend some time with me! I look forward to her visit!

Let the Saints Go Marching In.......forever!
