Grrr! Already stressed about Christmas in this neck of the woods. We have our first Niceville Catholic Community Choir rehearsal tonight for the annual combined Christmas concert. It should be a lot easier this year than last, but still going to be a project. I guess I don't have much to complain about though. I can only imagine the thousands of families who are going to still be homeless for Christmas in the wake of Katrina. I don't think the reality of it has hit me yet either. All I can do is sit and stare at the television in awe and horror. Another 200 miles east and we would be in the same boat as the rest of the western gulf coast. I honestly cannot imagine having everything you have ever known just completely wiped away in one fell swoop. It seriously boggles my mind, and it takes a lot to do that. The only thing we can do at this point is pray I guess. I wish we had a bigger house that we could maybe open up to some refugees for a while as there are bound to be quite a few in the months to come. Things like this make you appreciate the little things in life that we take for granted. Running water, toilet paper, those kind of things. Did you ever think you would hear the word refugee used to describe someone inside the continental US? I never did. The world is definitely a more somber place than it was last week.
