HURRICANE RITA HITS!!

OH NO!!! Here we go again! Classes are moved to other rooms across campus and the coliseum is "Special Needs" facility again! The nightmare has started over. This has been one tough semester for everyone. It is much worse as far as the victims go that are living in the coliseum! They are fighting, hollering, and screaming at each other. They even tore up some things and we have had several things come up missing! It is so depressing! This time I feel anger built up inside me. I continue to pray for relief and peace!

I Am Exhausted!

I have been taking care of evacuees for the past 2 weeks. It makes me feel good to give. The stress we are all under is killing us softly. I visited the Evacue cite in Monroe and brought one to see the doctor. It made me sick and depressed seeing the children and people with nowhere else to go. I hate going to my office at the University and working. It is so sad. Students are helping give items and food and clothing to the victims. At our first home football game, victims were allowed to get in free if they showed a southern ID. Lee Greenwood was a special guest who sang his hit song "God Bless the USA". Fireworks lit the sky and many prayed in silence for peace. It couldn't have been planned any better.
