thoughts and prayers to the victims of Hurricane Katrina

i saw on the news last night the devastation and destruction from Hurricane Katrina down in Nawlins (ok for y'all "grammatically correct muthafuckas New Orleans), my heart and my prayers go out to those who have lost their homes and their lives from this terrible storm. those of you who are spiritual people - and it doesnt matter whether you believe in God or not - will keep the people of the Crescent City in your thoughts, prayers, devotionals, or mantras that they will find the help from outside sources and the strength from within to rebuild their homes and rebuild their lives after such mass destruction. i ask everyone who reads this post to take a moment of silence for those who lost their lives from the horrific aftermath of Katrina and perhaps light a candle in remembrance as well.

may God be with the people and city of New Orleans, that they may find comfort and strength to rebuild their homes and their lives.
