Have we become so sanctimonious that we believe we can control nature? Unfortunately, we seem to believe we can control everything. If anything shows us we can’t, it is Hurricane Katrina.</I><BR/><BR/>Very good point, Francine! We somehow associate natural disasters with third-world countries but that's kind of an arrogant view, isn't it?

Can you imagine what would have happened it had taken its first predicted route? The devastation we now see would pail in comparison. Could this detour and weakening of the storm have been an answer to prayer?
