Sand Castles or Castles In The Sand…

Florida is my home state….Florida is surrounded by water…and sand.
Hurricane Ivan hit sand/land in the Pensacola Beach area and brought 25 ft. waves of water plus mountains of sand into the homes on the beach.
The beach had recently undergone a $20-million renourishment program.
But Ivan blew most of the sand into the middle of the island.
This white sand looks like mountains of snow all over the place…
“When the cleanup from the storm begins, the sand will be sifted for debris and returned to the beach.” said FEMA officials.
Many peoples dream homes, their castles… were swept away in a short moment in time…
Speaking to my cousin Ray’s wife Betty…..who was standing in line for water and ice….Betty said that she had stood in line the day before and the supply was depleted before she was served…..I asked her if we could bring generators or chain saws to her and the family and she said…”No, they had those…but could not get gas for them….only one station was serving gas two days after the storm….”
Look how many people it takes…every day for us to….get food, clothes, electricity, gas, medicine etc. on a daily basis….
We can see clearly in this catastrophe what happens when that line of servers is temporarily put out of commission…..
Everyone has to ….cooperate…..together….to help for the ‘greater cause’ of meeting the needs around them…Sacrifice is a must….
Americans are great at ‘helping each other’ in a crisis such as this one.
Someone in the picture below said it best by sticking an American Flag in the castles in the sand on Pensacola Beach….
America will rebuild…..God Bless America!
