Katrina Kombat

My heart goes out to the people in the southeast. I just can't even imagine to fathom the situation that millions of people are in due to Hurricane Katrina, Category 4. Possibly the worst natural disaster to hit the United States since the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Millions homeless. No power. No water. Martial law. National guard coming in to bring order. What do you do? The widespread looting that's happening. You don't have food water clothes. But it's wrong to steal. Do you starve. Your kids are hungry and thirsty. What is right? Pop quiz, hotshot. What do you do? Is this justified? Makes you look at what you have right now and be thankful. Sure I don't live in the biggest home nor drive the best car, but I'm blessed that I have a place right now. Puts things into perspective. Be thankful for what you have. And help people. One man can make a difference. Michael Knight knew this.

Here's how we can help:

Red Cross
Salvation Army
