I Guess You Never Really Know...

I guess its really true that you never really know what is going to happen in life, and that there are just some things that are beyond our control.

I can't stop thinking about this damn hurricane.

I know that I don't live in New Orleans, or anywhere where it hit, but for those of you who know, Steven's family is there, and Jessica went to Tulane and has some friends who live down there as well.

The pictures on the Chicago Tribune and MSN made my heart sank.

I don't know what I would do if I lost my home and everything that was special to me. After work I spoke to Jessica on the phone, and I was walking down the street I thought about some things...

I thought about how I felt bad that I went to work today and was in a good mood. That I was safe and could walk down the street. I started to feel so helpless and I almost wanted to cry.

But I didn't.

This morning on the bus I looked out the window and up to the sky and said a prayer in my head. I'm not a religious person, and I usually only pray when I'm in Church. But something came over me, and I felt that the only person that I could trust to make things alright was the one above....

So please keep the people dealing with this terrible ordeal in your prayers and in your thoughts...

And never forget where you come from, and never take anything for granted in life...Because you never know what will happen....
