but at this point I am desperate...
PLEASE pray for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. This has hit very close to home for me as I am from Louisiana, have lived in Baton Rouge for the past 5 years and just recently left Baton Rouge to pursue graduate studies in Tennessee. Baton Rouge is 45 minutes away from NO and my closest and most personal friends are from New Orleans. I consider these people to be family to me and they are totally devastated. I can barely concentrate and I cannot focus at all. When I think of the city that has brought so much joy to my life and the fact that it is suddenly washing away, it makes me cry. My friends are missing family members and their homes are gone. There is nothing worse than when a friend calls you in tears and there is nothing that you can do to help them.
Please pray for New Orleans, Gulfport, Biloxi and every other city and person who has taken a personal hit from Hurricane Katrina.
Thank you...

"The Prayer"
I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu hai
I pray we'll find your light
nel cuore restera
and hold it in our hearts.
a ricordarci che
When stars go out each night,
eterna stella sei
The light you have
I pray we'll find your light
will be in the heart
and hold it in our hearts.
to remember us that
When stars go out each night,
you are eternal star
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
quanta fede c'e
when shadows fill our day
How much faith there's
Let this be our prayer
in my prayer
when shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternita
We dream a world without violence
a world of justice and faith.
Everyone gives the hand to his neighbours
Symbol of peace, of fraternity
La forza che ci da
We ask that life be kind
e il desiderio che
and watch us from above
ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
intorno e dentro se
another soul to love
The force his gives us
We ask that life be kind
is wish that
and watch us from above
everyone finds love
We hope each soul will find
around and inside
another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer, just like every child
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
hai acceso in noi,
sento che ci salvera
It's the faith
you light in us
I feel it will save us
God bless all the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

My 2nd job is working part time for Sears and they surprised us yesterday but starting a simple fundraiser to help out by allowing us to wear jeans and a colored shirt for $5 a day and it all goes to the relief fund at Red Cross. This amazed me as Sears is huge and honestly hasn't really cared much about any cause and I have worked for them for 1 1/2 years and never have they done this to help out an employee or anything so I honestly believe even Corporate America is going to try to help in the recovering process and I am glad to be able to see that!

Yeah, I also heard that WalMart is telling all their employees that they can relocate to another WalMart anywhere and will be guaranteed the same job/a job.. .not sure on details. I think they gave over 20 million to help out too.
And Harrah's was going to pay their employees for like at least 2 weeks or something like that.
Maybe the big Corp people can step up!

Another awful nature disaster that takes so many lives.  It´s so sad to see that the less fortunate, the old and the children has to suffer. |

I agree, natural disasters are absolutely horrible and if I could outlaw them, oh yeah, I would. So many innocent and less fortunate people are made to suffer. They have to start allllll over again. And in many cases, without loved ones. Material things can be replaced, but family members cannot.

And yes, it's wonderful that some big corporations are actually trying to help the survivors in any way they can. It's great PR.
