Noah's Ark

Genesis 28:3 (New International Version) - "May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples."

Genesis 8:4 (King James Version) - "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."

After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the American ship of state is not doing very well!

Please note the hysterical rantings at The Huffington Post as expressed in the 343+ comments (read: emotions) to the words of a spoiled and racist rapper.

This blogger is taking the high ground, and recognizing the humanitarian efforts of my son’s best friend who in the United States Coast Guard and stationed in the Dante's Inferno area of the Gulf coast and New Orleans, Louisiana which suffered the wrath of Hurricane Katrina on Monday, August 29th

Rather than finger pointing, and racist rantings...our country would be better served by staying calm and rational. Citizens of the United States would be better served by the following:

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark

1. Don't miss the boat.
2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3. Listen to your inner calls, no matter how strange. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
4. Stay fit. Someone may ask you to do something really big.
5. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
8. Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
9. When you're stressed, float a while.
10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
11. No matter the storm, there's always a rainbow waiting.
