As Gustav approaches and is on the minds of all most everyone, we too wanted to wish those still left on the coast and those who remain to protect and help the very best. Our prayers are with you.
We are also mindful of those who have already evacuated. It was great to hear that 90-95% of the people have already made it to a safe shelter to wait out the storm. Here in Austin, we have already received a couple hundred people from the coast to wait out the storm. Our prayers are with you as you wait in such uncertainty.
It seems the governement is on top of things this time. President Bush has arrived here in Austin to first hand see how things are being handled. I was glad to here the Mayor of New Orleans (and all local bodies of gov.) step up to the plate. Our local governing bodies are our first responders and need to be proactive and on top of things so they can best help their citizens.
Again, my hats off to all those who stay in harms way just to protect the empty cities and aid those who need assistance – these are real life heros who put their life on the line for the common man – Thank You! May God grant you a hedge of protection as you serve in the path of destruction.
As we go thru today, may we be ever so mindful of those in need. I would encourage all of us to put out our helping hand to someone in need.
