FIve Year Anniversary of Katrina

It was five years ago today Katrina hit New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.  Much has come back, especially along the gulf coast, but sadly, New Orleans is still hurting.  I visited there not too long ago and was sad to see so little progress had been made.  On our 2007 Mission Trip we worked on two houses...gutting them to be readied for rebuilding.  One of the houses is now completely restored, the single mom now living there.  The other, the home of a large family, remains boarded up and in need of much more work.  Also, sadly to say, it remains the same today.  We are a great nation...but we are not always great at doing what is right and just.  Five years later, and a couple more disasters later, I wonder if we will ever learn.
