The Hurricane
It's impossible to not see the news coverage or hear what happened due to Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans, the rest of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississipi, and all the other areas affected by the Hurricane will be feeling the effects for a long time.
For those that want to give please do so through the Salvation Army or your local Churches. The Salvation Army spends their money more efficiently (more goes directly to those in need) and have a better historical record of help than the other well known Agency that many are giving to. You can give directly to the Presbyterian Church in America Disater Relief fund here
I know many of us are feeling the Gas price crunch ($3.49 where I live!), but lets try to be thankful that we don't have larger worries.
If anyone has family or friends that were affected by the Hurricane, feel free to list them in the comments (along with any relevant info). I will be sure to pray for them and encourage anyone else to do the same.
