A moment of prayer and reflection.

In light of what is happening in the South East, I didn't want to spend time talking about me. Take a moment, and say a prayer for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. As you are praying, ask the Lord, "What can I do to help?" Allow Him to guide you in how you can be involved in the process of restoring the lives of so many.
Here is a list of relief organizations, should the Lord lead you to get involved:
