Going From Bad to Worse



Things in New Orleans seem to be getting uglier by the hour. Hundreds are feared dead. Martial law has been declared in two parishes. Looting is widespread. Conditions are deteriorating in the Superdome shelter -- one person has jumped to their death from an upper level. The Governor of Louisiana says the whole city should be evacuated.

A scripture comes to mind: "You will find trouble in the world but take heart, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

I saw a news report earlier: A massive live oak tree fell across a small park or cemetary, and still standing in the middle of the tangle of broken limbs and leaves and branches...a statue of Jesus, unscathed.

Keep the faith.
