FEMA: National Situation Update: Saturday, September 10, 2005

Last in a series of strangely passionate essays that are part of FEMA's official daily emergency managers' bulletin.

Buried in there somewhere over the previous 7-10 days are a few tidbits, like no mention of the convention center at all, then suddenly there are thousands dutifully lining up for food, water and evac buses. The "gagging stench" is mentioned, though.

The Seattle Times: Local News: National parks' woes detailed at Bellevue hearing

Shocking lack of support for National Parks. Not surprising, really, from the administration that wants to use all the resources.

Looking ahead: The Parable of the Talents

Proper 28 The Sunday closest to November 16, BCP

Jesus said, "For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, `Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.' His master said to him, `Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.' And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, `Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.' His master said to him, `Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.' Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, `Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.' But his master replied, `You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away."
