If we do that, we will be more able to face our own personal disasters as well as local or national ones much better.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122457524036298067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460131713224869765.post-75846289480357353622010-10-03T18:30:52.790-06:002010-10-03T18:30:52.790-06:00I agree with your post about preparation, we shoul...I agree with your post about preparation, we should all take those steps, but please, spare us the Katrina victimhood mentality.<br /><br />Frankly, more people, churches, resources, money, supplies, transportation vehicles and yes, even government went to Katrina victims than to many other disasters, both before and since.
