For the University of Mobile, I discuss the role hurricanes play in our lives here on the Gulf Coast.
A taste:
Now there are some misguided souls who see these hurricanes as God’s retribution for some real or imagined sin. (“Unfair sh**: GOP spared by Issac! [sic],” Tweeted liberal actor Samuel L. Jackson. “Not understanding God’s plan!”) Yet that’s certainly not how I understand the ways of the Almighty. God’s work in the world, through the ministries of the Holy Spirit, comes not in afflicting us with troubles, but rather in giving us the grace to respond with love and energy to whatever difficulties may arise.
Sometimes, leaders emerge from these trials…..
As I write, it remains overcast in Mobile, but I think the rains have FINALLY ended. I think it rained for almost 36 hours straight…..

'.....“Unfair sh**: GOP spared by Issac! [sic],” Tweeted liberal actor Samuel L. Jackson.....' No Sam, the "unfair sh** occurs when those same GOP'ers """"""""STUPIDLY""""""" allow themselves and their children to pay their hard-earned income to view one of your asinine [and poorly acted] movies, none of which are anywhere near their outlandish price of admission; so go bring your friend Oprah a big box of Kleenex to wipe her big, fat youknowhat with, since both of you are headed for a bad case of what you refer to as the "sh**"[s] after 11/6/12, okay????????
