Blog lite: I’ll be off-line most of today. I’m working on a Katrina-related project that I look forward to sharing with you as soon as possible. The more I learn, the more I am convinced that recovering from Katrina will be a person-to-person job which will require a lot of people “adopting” or “fostering” specific Katrina-impacted people, families, churches, institutions and small businesses. I’m all for giving money to the Red Cross, etc. and I hope the federal government pumps in even more money and resources, but we can’t “out-source” helping on this one. This is a personal tragedy for hundreds of thousands of individuals, and they need to know there are specific individuals out here who are concerned about them, personally. More later.
