Prayers For New Orleans

My prayers are going out tonight to New Orleans. I hope that things do not turn out as severe as they are predicting. I hope that my friends in New Orleans end up fine, and their homes intact. I am reasonably certain that at least one friend and her family is out of harms way, I wish I could say the same for her home.

I know that there will be need of the American Red Cross, please consider donating time or money to help those in need.
