2000 census showed 484,674 living in New Orleans. I'm sure that number has gone up since then. Now they have told everyone they must leave - every one. It is heartbreaking to watch them pull people off their roof and from trees - crying because they don't want to leave but knowing they have to. Everything gone within minutes. I can't imagine the grief, the pain and then some people losing loved ones on top of everything. The loss is unimaginable. I thought today - what if in twenty years we are saying, remember when there was a New Orleans?
Today is a day of prayer for the state of Louisianna - i say it should be a national day of prayer for those in New Orleans and GulfPort Mississippi. God help them!
