Why I haven't posted about Katrina

I honestly haven't been able to think of a thing to say. That's why.

I've been posting comments to my favorite Internet community and to Ronn's blog, as well as in private emails and discussions with my husband. There are some really dreadful things happening here in America, as bad as and worse than we could imagine anywhere else in the world, and we can't do much to stop it other than pray and hope we never have to go through watching our babies die in our arms for lack of water.

It doesn't matter if you have someplace to lay blame or you're pissed off at God or you're just trying to block it out because thinking about it is too much to bear. Do what you can. If it's only prayers, let it be prayers. If it's blood or money or clothes or stuffed animals, send those too. You know where to find the links.

Blessings to all of us who have healthy kids and intact homes and families and places to go. And blessings to those who don't.
