It got us to talking about the last days, and how easily a civilized community can turn so lawless. I guess through it all I've learned the value of food storage, and I've hugged my kids a little tighter every night before bed. People out here really have risen to the occasion. Up here in Birmingham they've had all sorts of item collections. A lot of people at church were gathering cans of food storage to donate, and us new moms were donating clothes that the kids have grown out of. There is so much good going on, its terrible that the media chooses only to see the bad.FeatherSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13890097458489327378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13936285.post-1126033532642831112005-09-06T13:05:00.000-06:002005-09-06T13:05:00.000-06:00I have heard some good stories, here and there.

I saw one woman who had a "spare" house, and essentially gave it to a family until they can go home. The money raised to help is also amazing. I saw on the news this morning that the money raised in these few days after the hurricane total to more than after 9/11 and Taiwan's tsunami combined. Reno alone raised over $400,000 this past weekend. Some people know how to rise to the occation when something devestating happens.Sariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981572489799765566noreply@blogger.com
