Get Out Of My Way Storm

Posted by Bishop Susan Storm Smith

Dear Friends, This week's column is a tribute to the human spirit.

We have all weathered storms this week of one kind or another. To those who have endured yet another evacuation from the Big Easy, watched parts of their city flooded, yet sighed relief when it wasn't the "Mother of all Storms" that it was billed to be by the time it came ashore in the US. Others along Gustav's path can't say the same thing. But to all of you in the way of the tropical depressions, tornadoes, hurricanes and flooding, know that my prayers are with you.

Many in the nation (US) have been through another type of hurricane, that of the political process. We have seen history made, new pages in many ways in the history books. I wonder how they will be written. We find in some history books the portion given to September 11, 2001 is nothing more than a few paragraphs. A day that is every bit as tragic as Pearl Harbor, but one some historians want us and our generations to forget. Never forget the details of history--it will help write the future.
