Isn't it better to work towards the event that will bring an end to all these pending disasters than to sit around in learned helplessness waiting for them to happen? The people who will be affected, if we are not, are our brothres and our sisters; part of us.PaleHorse said:Yes, the rains are certainly getting heavier.
I'm sure most of you have heard about the seismic activity being predicted for the San Fransisco area that could culminate pretty much at any time. When that happens, for it is inevitable, it will make these other disasters (not to take away from the horror of them, for they are utterly horrible) look almost puny.

TrustAndObey said:Cliff, Mardi Gras is a separate event in New Orleans from the one you posted, but it's pretty bad as well. People dress up in costumes and women lift their shirts to receive beads they can hang on their rear view mirrors and brag about all year. (I saw a woman pulled over once for drunk driving that had so many beads around her rear view mirror, I know she had to have trouble seeing the road). Added with the alcohol she obviously consumed (she wasn't walking straight at all) and her car was like a death missile.
It's a big, drunken celebration. People come from all over the world to go to it. Walking around naked with body paint on is apparently a big hit.
In other words, it's a den of sin in New Orleans at Mardi Gras time...and apparently at other times during the year too.
It's a big den of sin just about everywhere you go now.
Well said, Sassy. I like it when we focus on what our beliefs say about our God.SassySDA said:I.
Sinners will be punished, but I don't believe He works in the way of using storms like this hurricane or that tsunami to do it. His punishment will be swift and concise...the wicked will be incinerated...not drowned.
Windmill said:'tis sad. Everyone gave to the tsunami. But there arn't anywhere near as many people (least around here) who are giving to Katrina. It appears, people reckon, that cos its America, somehow, they can magically deal with this crisis equivalent to atomic bombs getting dropped on them.
Its basically a 3rd world situation in a western country, its shocking. Probably, a lot of people are coming to God through this though

The President did say it was a downpayment, so let's see what comes of it. There are lots of lessons to be learned here.StormyOne said:Over 200 Billion to Iraq.... and what to Louisiana? 10 Billion so far... so what's wrong with this picture?
