The devastation of Katrina is mammoth.  <br \/>I find myself sad, and praying for those who are in so much Need.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never been to New Orleans, but have seen photos and heard about it&#8217;s many cultures, and<br \/>how beautiful a city.  A place of romantic corners: Jazz bands, Beautiful french quarters, marti<br \/>gar.  So colorful, and rich.  <br \/> &#8230;and now it&#8217;s torn apart by water and wind.  <br \/>So fleeting are our moments, thoughts, and memories.  <\/p>\n<p>But we must have the faith and strength to over come and Rebuilt.<\/p>\n<p>We, Humans, have that special something to continue on.  <br \/>I admire nature for both the beauty(at it&#8217;s best) and the Fury(the worst). We have a part in Nature<br \/>and that is to Continue On.  We can&#8217;t control everything that comes are way, but we can do our best<br \/>and move Forward and rebuild anew.<\/p>\n<p>As a member of MOMs club of Lincoln, RI ( a chapter of MOMS club International),We&#8217;re in the works to raise funds for this effort.  <br \/>And so are the many chapters through the US.
