Here are some pics of our new car!

This week has been kind of hard. Before the hurricane I was going to school, I had a routine. Now…I simply live. Nothing is the same here. It is like living in a different world. A world turned upside down. I have been depressed lately and I guess a lot of other people are to. I do not know how long it will take to fix the house. There is so much damage around here…I guess it could take months.

On the other hand we have a new car. Pictures are up in the gallery. I will post some in the blog soon.

We now are hosting one of our friends that has no place to live (we have an extra bed). I thank God we can help him out.

Once on 09-11-01 the world I knew died…the new world that rose up from the ashes of that day died the day Katrina hit.

It took some doing but we got a new car. 2005 Chevy Malibu the best part is the dark blue color.

This Sunday we will be taking in a friend who has no place to live. He is taking a bus to Hammond and we will pick him up from there.

I don’t know if I mentioned this but: I took a ride to go see the damage to the Superdome and the Arena. The Arena is in good condition but you can see the holes in the roof of the Superdome. TV does not do the damage justice. There are large holes in the roof.

Please say a prayer for Lifesongs 89.1 FM (that is our local FM Christian station) they are still off the air. I hope they will be back soon.

God is good!

Well I’ve been home a week and Sunday was the first day we had Internet access. Things here are very different now. Most stores and shops are closed but more seem to be opening everyday. Target in the Clearview Mall seems to be a popular destination for the army troops here, as is the coffee shop. I will post more pictures of the damage later. I am home, back on the Internet, and ready for the NHL season to start.

Well our auto insurance company totaled our car so today we plan to go look for cars today. We are hoping to get two cars. An adjuster came yesterday to look at the damage to the house and one is coming today to look a our possessions we lost.

I will not be going back to school until the spring semester…I just hope the school is ready by then.
