WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Storm-Weary Coast Braces For Next Hurricane Season

WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Storm-Weary Coast Braces For Next Hurricane Season: "Joe Spraggins knows it will take stockpiles of food, water and fuel and better evacuation routes to survive if the Gulf Coast gets hit by another monster storm this coming hurricane season. What the Harrison County emergency management director cannot fully plan for is the psychological toll another hurricane could exact on residents struggling to rebuild their lives after Katrina.

'They're already at the point of breaking,'' he said. 'If we have another storm of any size this summer, mental health is going to be a huge issue.''"

Gulfport To MDOT: Find Another Connector Route

Students Start Petition To Change Name of Jeff Davis campus

The above entitled "Storm Weary Coast" are inadequate words to describe the feelings here. We are bone tired and psyched out. The world for most of us is not turning on its axle any longer. We are frozen in a time warp of waiting. Nothing has been done here. Lots of talking but not much action. Two major bridges are out but more interest is put on connectors for evacuations. Mayor Warr of Gulfport is correct in what it will do to the city. The proposed plan will come through the heart of Gulfport and it will become a "ghost town".

The Jefferson Davis controversy is nothing new to us, it is our history. To wipe out that history would be lending credence to George Orwell's fictitious book "1984". The two students in the above article stated they were ashamed to say the name of the junior college they attended. Then go to another. Katrina has also been a source for some to further their agendas. All smoking in public places, restaurants and businesses will be banned. The next step will be coming into the privacy of your home. There is no ban on alcoholic beverages. Most DUI'S are punished by doing community service for a couple of weeks.

I wish for my sake and yours that I had more uplifting things to talk about but I don't. We had a less than desirable Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Christmas was observed because of the birth of our Lord and Santa for the children. Easter will be for the resurrection of our Lord and the baskets for the children. Spiritually we are okay as we are clinging to the words of the Savior that we will be refined as if by fire and be made worthy of His promises.
