Beloved:
For many who watched it was very distressing about Katrina and the devastation. But think about it, if the insurance companies really truly knew of God’s Sovereignty, then they would never have to pay for any thing ever again.  

I was amazed when I volunteered to help the victims of this hurricane on how totally unprepared many of them were. Even though we watched it coming to their coast for three days, these people had not packed or brought many of the basics. These poor people seemed so clueless.   But isn’t it the same way..... Spiritually?

What seemed rediculous was how the mainstream churches acted during and after the hurricane was even more chilling.  One of them even had the gall to remark that the devil was trying his best to get him but he foiled his attempts and was able to take his jet to Texas. There were so many things said and done by our supposed brethren that it made me  :-& .

I am so thankful that God has started his work in me and has helped me begin to separate myself from my stuff, my profession and other worldly things.

(1Ti 6:7 KJVR)  For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

(1Ti 6:8 KJVR)  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

The best that we can do is just to do the Fathers Will as it presented to each of us. Jesus during His ministry seem to help everyone who asked. He only said no to religious hypocrits and the intolerant.

The way I see it, if that means giving money,goods, services and time to these people so be it. We do not do it to be good (remember we are dead ). We do it because Christ lives in us.

(Gal 2:20 KJVR)  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.


Like Ray’s recent prayer paper states, we can also pray and know that all that has and is happening is totally under His control.

Thanks Gena, yep that's what the 'la' means...  :lol:  :lol:

Just noticing that my location is no longer showing from my profile... HMMMM... must have vanished the same time my signature did.  :roll:


Beloved,

Part of the reason that no one was 'prepared' for Katrina is (1) no one ever prepares for more than 2 or 3 days, being that is usually the longest amount of time anyone is ever displaced or business, gas stations, etc are closed after a hurricane. No one ever 'expects' (or prepares) for the worst-case scenerio  :shock: , unfortunately and (2) many expect 'someone else' (like the city/govt) to 'take care of them' while they are evactuated. That is why they go to the shelters and take very little with them in the way of supplies.... and the shelters themselves only make preparations for up to 3 days... not expecting to have to take care of that many people for that long, only to have more and more people continue to flood in for days and have NO services or supplies available in the area at all.  :cry:

It's a shame that we can ship tons and tons of medicine and other supplies to places like Indonsia after a tsunami or earthquake, etc and we can't even 'manage' to get help and supplies into a city in the US, huh??  :shock:  :roll:

Hopefully we have LEARNED and MADE EFFECTIVE CHANGES since the last hurricane season and such a tragedy will not be repeated.

Chrissie
