(Potential) Clarity

If the reports are true that looters cleaned out the D-Day Museum in New Orleans, then I have a greater understanding why the late, fantastic World War II historian Stephen Ambrose passed away in what was arguably still his prime.
Not only did something he helped create get destroyed (again if this is true), he also made one of his homes in Bay St. Louis, Miss. More than likely, the house he lived in is also gone.
It's speculation at this point, but sometimes it helps to make sense of things, and that was one death I couldn't quite grasp at the time.
Quite possibly, the Lord spared him what was to come within the past few days.
It's at least a comforting thought.
More rants on Katrina as time and energy permit.
I'm out of both as of now.

so sad isn't it... hard to determine what's true and not true. Can't trust the media very much these days!
