The Katrina Zone

In our media-saturated culture it seems that our interests and concerns tend to congregate around an ADD existence where we float from one pop-intensity to another. Usually it’s a murder trial that captivates our attention or a serial killer on the loose or a particular political event but now the aftermath of Katrina and Rita has grabbed the spotlight. What is worthy of observing is that there are needy people somewhere in the world always. There are victims of various disasters around every day of every year. One thing that living near ground zero of Katrina has shown me is that we need a broader world focus; we need to pay attention more to those who need us.

"For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.” Mark 14:7
