Seeded on Sat Sep 13, 2008 5:59 PM EDT (msnbc.com)

Rescue crews navigated flooded and debris-strewn streets Saturday to search for those who insisted on staying and riding out a fierce Hurricane Ike, which shattered skyscraper windows, cut power to millions and flooded thousands of homes as it sloshed across the Texas coast. .

Once again, Palin plays by her own rules
Sat Jul 4, 2009
- I don't think she would win the Republican Party nomination. That would send the independents and moderate republicans back to the Democrats again. I don't think they would want to risk that. She has alienated too many people in her own party.

- The abortion debate never goes anywhere. No one is going to overturn roe vs wade. It is just a topic that people up for election bring up to sucker the religious fanatics to vote for them.
Brazil to Paris flight goess missing over Atlantic

- It is going to be difficult to locate the plane but for the sake of the families, I hope they do. It is some sort of closure. It is traumatic enough to lose a loved one but not knowing where they are has to be heart wrenching.

- Thunderproof I agree. The news has become an extended reality television show. They love tragedy. Yes the loss of the plane is news but they are going to milk this story for as much as they can get out of it. Crying relatives- people who knew the pilot- stories of unsafe air travel etc..

- The plane would have shown up somewhere by now. I think everyone knows in their heart the fate of this flight. I feel for the families in both countries.

- I don't think there is a debate that this quake did a lot of damage. It doesn't matter what the actual magnitude was or if the media is sensationalizing this. That is what the media does. This quake was obviously strong enough to kill people and destroy a city.

- Obviously these people initially made bad business decisions otherwise AIG would not have been in such dire straights. No one should get bonuses on borrowed government money. For the rest of us, if we are to receive any type of bonus it is based on company profit.

- Ron - the inquisition, burning witches, as well as wiping out people in the new world who were "pagans" was all done in the name of the good Christian faith. I am not saying this to insult your religion. I too was born catholic.

- Lark As a white person I find your post ridiculous. Have you ever been to Africa? I spend some time there. There are African nations run by native African people who are not having problems to this severity.

tiger,

I just want to share with you my Christian understanding of what is at the heart of this article. I suffer with pretty bad depression from time to time and have gone the route of anti-depressants for a while. I then made a contious effort to address the cause of the depression and no longer needed the drugs. The problem turned out to be a total lack of faith in myself and, more importantly, GOD's promises.

Did you know that over half of all Americans are on some kind of ongoing maintanence drugs now and at the same time we are removing GOD from everything but church. That is a very sad fact. I believe the two are very related.

I think many of us are depressed primarily b/c we feel stress over situations we don't know how to deal with or are not in control of. Whether it is money, love, or illness, we fail to reach inside and pull on GOD's strength and promises. He never promised life would be without problems, but he did promise his unwavering strength. No less. If everyone was able to take a deep breath and truly acknowledge the root of their depression, it is not something that needs to be masked with a drug, but maybe re-evaluated as to how important is this and why can't i deal with it. I can attest to this personally.

It is written in the Bible that if we have worry and doubt, then we do not trust our Lord.

That is what Christian church leaders are advising. I believe many people turn to their church b/c that is the most economic option for them. Ialso believe there are those individuals who truly suffer with mental conditions which warrant a doctor,s supervision and possibly chemical therapy and deserve our prayers for God's healing. It would be irresponsible of anyone to advise against medical help.

From reading your comments, I get the impression you are not a practicing Christian. I would invite you to re-evaluate your own convictions and reach out to those of us to answer any of your doubts.
