Having been away from NG's for a little while, I peeked in to see if there
might be some news in here about any VR friends who may be affected by the
devastation on the Gulf Coast. I see one inquiry, no answers and no
discussion.

Is this because all are riveted to their TV sets? Because all are weary of
the 24/7 coverage? Or is it that it's all so overwhelming there is simply
nothing to say?

It's a bit like not talking about the huge purple dinosaur in your living
room! You KNOW everyone is thinking about it.....but no one says a word. So
please indulge me while I ask.....

Would you send a contribution to the American Red Cross or the relief agency
of your choice today? Would you take just 60 seconds of your busy day and
say a prayer or meditate on the heart wrenching circumstances one other
person might be in for that moment? Is there anything that we, as a
"community", albeit virtually real, might do to help?

Could we have a discussion thread on this, please? I have 3 VR friends who
lived in New Orleans. I have no idea where they are, how they fared or even
if they are still alive. Sometimes......discussion can be the most
supportive tool we have :)

Thanks!

God bless America again
You see all the trouble that she's in
Wash her pretty face, dry her eyes and then
God bless America again

Dear God, I sure do wish you could bless America again
Well, you know, just like they did way back when it all began
you know, you surely blessed it once and we just took it for granted
and never bothered to ask again
So just hold her hand God, that's all
And if she should stumble,
Please don't let her fall

You know God, Theres so much I don't understand
About what I read and hear is wrong in America
But I suppose if you don't have a lot of learnin'
There's so much you can't undertand
Ahh but let me say this
God she's like a mother to me
And everything I am or ever hope to be
I owe it to You and to her

God bless America again
You see all the trouble that she's in
Wash her pretty face, dry her eyes and then
God bless America again .
