STORMY WEATHER

Last night we retired to bed knowing that many people were anxiously waiting for the storm, named Hurricane Ike, to hit the coast line.1 People in the area of Texas where asked to leave their homes and flee to s safer place.

People who lived in the high rise apartments were at risk as those in smaller homes. This hurricane has sparked warnings from Louisiana to Mexico. It has caused the deaths of 100 people.

We all face stormy emotions that battle within our souls. At times we can be extremely brave and smart with a positive attitude to life. But at other times we feel sad and discouraged.

In the paper Stwephen Harper is quoted as saying: "The most important thing about leading any organization, in my judgment, is that you put broader interests ahead of your emotions."

We are now facing the decision of who to vote for to create a better country. Who will keep their promises? Who sees what the real needs of all the people? We want a leader who will make great changes, restore our enviroment, bring our soldiers home, provide jobs and better health care and education. One person can not do that but can we find the right person to start us on the right road?
