Enjoying being "Grammy" and "Nanny". Look forward to weekly visits with my bus kids and the ride to and from church on Sunday morning. Aware that many little eyes may be watching me. I want to be a faithful example to them.

Dissenters

I don't know if I should be writing anything about this right now because I will definitely be showing my emotions. I am so disturbed when I read things like the letter from Michael Moore to the president and when I hear the reporters on TV making such a big deal about all that our president has NOT done for New Orleans.

Our country is in the middle of a crisis right now. If you are not doing anything to alleviate the situation, why not just pray for those who are trying.

What do these people want? It is as if they think the president has a magic wand that he could, if he wanted to, wave over the whole situation and make it all disappear.

This was a dissaster of profound proportions. There should have been a plan by the city of New Orleans, ready to be implemented in case of such a situation. I don't think anyone ever thought it would come to this.

When a mayor of a major city publicly makes statements using God's name in vain, I am offended!!! There was a time when men had more character than to speak in that way in front of a lady. Maybe those times are gone but if you will notice, most politicians do NOT speak like that in public. I think the mayor of New Orleans needs to issue a public apology for his strong language.

The sight of all those people starving, thirsty, tired and dirty on the streets of a city in the United States is something that none of us thought we would see. We ALL wish we had that magic wand.

Since we can't change what has happened why can't we just pray and encourage those that are in the position of helping. The criticism and negative talk is of no value but to cause more discension in this country.
