I want to live
Haunting words coming out of New Orleans as the flood waters rise:
Me? I don't know. I want to slap him. I want to help him. I want to show him love. And I want to slap him. But I don't know his situation. Why did he stay? I don't know. Was he stupid? Did he have a legit reason? Who am I to judge? But what I do know is he needs help.
Sigh.
'I'm not doing too good right now,' Chris Robinson said via cellphone from his home east of the city's downtown. 'The water's rising pretty fast. I got a hammer and an ax and a crowbar, but I'm holding off on breaking through the roof until the last minute. Tell someone to come get me please. I want to live.'How do you react to this? What do you do? How do you pray?
