As I write this Ike is going through Texas causing a lot of damage, flooding, lost of power and yes some lives. But what are we going to do after Ike is gone ? Are we going to blame the goverment and say it should have done more to help ? That President Bush does not really care or are we going to take a step back and ask what can I do to help ? We all need to step in and do what we can to help those people to put back their lives. When the time comes we need to send them cloths, food, and anything else we can spare. The Red Cross is doing their part but they still need our help by giving blood, money and if we can our time. If you can and have the time go and help a family rebuild their home or help with the clean up. We as a nation need to stop pointing fingers and come together and help each other in times like this. So when the call comes out are you going to blame others on why things are not getting done or are you going to roll up your sleves and say what can I do to help ? They also need our prayers.

Just wanted to let you all know for the next 3 weeks will be on the road visiting family and getting away from it all. We are also going up to the Adirondack Mountains for a week have not been there for seven years do to waiting for my transplant. I use to spend all my summers there when I was growing up. I also water skied and sailed almost everyday. Do to my rejection meds and all the doctors told me I could not go in the water any more. But I can watch the humming birds breath the fresh cool air and take long walks. I will not have a computer with me and my cell phone does not work up there which is ok with me See you all when I get back in 3 weeks.
