I am sending prayers to all of you in the path of Hurricane Katrina.

I was scheduled to speak in New Orleans this week and just cancelled all my reservations this morning.

I hope you all evacuate and get out of harms way.

Thoughts and Prayers are with You'll.

Yes! I'm so glad that you posted this. I was thinking of my dear Paula and all of the other wonderful LBTers here who live in that area.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, and may the Lord watch over all of you and keep you all safe and protected!

I'll be praying for your safety as well. Take care of yourselves.

My prayers and thoughts for your safety are coming your way...please stay safe. This storm is going to be a big one! Know we are thinking of you. Let us know how you are when you can. Cindy

Kelly I was just thinking about Paula this morning. I hope they are ok. I will send up prayers of protection for all of them.

My daughter in Florida didn't get much of anything other than some hard rain. THen it skipped into the gulf and picked up steam and force. It is a category 5 now with winds at 175 MPH.

HUGE prayers. They are evacuating New Orleans. MORE PRAYERS!!!

I too Send out prayers to all who are in Katrina's pathway. This is a very big storm and I pray that all are safe and kept from harm.

Yes Yes Yes..I will keep them in my thoughts. I hope Paula and family will get through this OK and any other LBTer who lives in the danger zone

Thoughts and prayers coming from from me too!!

Hi all! Thanks so much for asking...

At this point, we are safe from this one! *phew*

N.O. is about 3 1/2 hours east of us, so we are quite a distance from this gigantic storm.

Right now we are actually getting only goodness from it - low humidity and steady breezes, with lots of HEAT!

We have a friend that is a big-wig at the newest casino/hotel in our area. He was called into work today to make extra accomidations for all the evacuee's that were arriving.

Funny how the casino's here are filled tonight and the church's remain empty.

Something about that thought scares me.

Thank You GOD!!!!

So happy you fine Paula- I agree that is a strange thought about the casinos & churches. Maybe because they are newer with more structual features. Plus the size. It is strange though ;0)

So glad that you are all ok Paula! I thought about trying to call you, but decided against it - just because I didn't know if you would all be gone or not.

Hopefully everyone else from LBT is safe and sound. Those storms sure are nothing to mess with!

Glad to hear you are OK Paula

Thanks for posting Paula, I was thinking about you as well.

Glad to hear you are o.k. Paula, you were on my mind!

Also glad you are okay Paula! Sending out prayers for the folks in the storms path!!

Glad you're not in that mess, Paula. I feel so sorry for all those people seeking shelter at the Super Dome in those hard uncomfy chairs with no air conditioning. Must be awful. Today I was supposed to make reservations for my next convention, but my corporate office in Baton Rouge (an hour from the storm) is dead. No phones, no

e-mail, and their website is even down. I've been checking MSN but the update is 2 hours old. Has the storm passed yet?
