SAYING GOODBYE

Today is a sad day in OKC. Tonight will be the last night the Hornets will be playing basketball in OKC. We have had the team for 2 yrs since Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. I remember that Monday watching in horror, shame and disgust that so many people were stranded on roof tops pleading for help. It's hard to believe it was as long ago as it was. It's hard to believe that happened in America. I thought we had it all together. We could weather any storm. I guess it proved we can't. We are vulnerable and weak. So was the system that was suppose to help these people. I remember them showing the dome where thousands of people were stranded and left hungry, thirsty and hot. I really hope they have a better system in place. But who knows. It looks like they might not because I just read an article about a $40m worth of FEMA food wasted. I hope they get it together.

I am glad we had the privilege to have the Hornets in our town for 2 seasons. Although I did not get to go to many games when I did it was a lot of fun. I had never experienced a professional basketball game before they came to town. There were so many people and you could truly feel the excitement in the air. I am glad we could host this team but more importantly I hope those that were hit by the hurricanes have found a permanent place to stay. I hope they never have to experience something like that again. I hope there lives are filled with joy and peace and they find comfort in GOD.
