Friday thoughts

It feels like my mind has been consumed by the destruction and crisis in New Orleans and other areas of the south. It just blows my mind that while I'm sitting here on my couch in my air conditioned home with a fridge full of food and very few material worries, that there are people who have no where to go or any idea what to do as they recover from this horrible tragedy. For me, this is somewhat of a reminder of the suffering that is going on all over the world all the time. It might be new to America, but it's not new to the world.
