crying, thinking of the people in the Gulf Coast who are presently "going thru" the devastation and loss of Hurricane Katrina. Today as I sit in sweat in my school office (I just came in today to find the AC is not working) my thoughts are not on anything but the people of the Gulf. It could have easily been us down here in South Florida. What do you do when everything is lost? I prayed for them even in my prayer this morning as I took my son to school. I cried again. I still feel like crying, its like I feel a deep immense pain. One of the newscasters of Good Morning America cried when she told the world she found her mom and family ok but her hometown was no more. Another man shared he lost his wife and only had one of his children and when the newscaster asked what he will do, he said "I just feel lost" and cried. On the Tom Joyner Morning Show this am Travis Smiley said we should consider this "our Tsunami" and do all we can to help. If but for a moment, let’s take the time to say a prayer for all these folks today.
“It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence liberates others.”
