Waiting on Gustav
September 1, 2008
It has been anything but a typical Labor Day weekend in Southeast Louisiana. The last couple of days have been spent preparing and planning for the arrival of Hurricane Gustav. I have been blessed by all the calls, text messages and emails I have received from all over the country and world from people praying and thinking about us down here. I’m proud of Governor Jindal’s leadership and all of our elected officials for their early pro-activeness and preparations to insure the safety of citizens. The churches in the region have been amazing in reaching out to help those who can’t help themselves. I personally know of several who have turn their facilities into nursling homes to help the elderly. They are prepared to serve and help after the storm. I have my entire immediate family hunkered down at my home and so we’re at peace because at least we’re together. One really never knows the storms they will face in life. Tonight however, we know it’s name is Gustav.
