WHODAT, BABY, WHODAT!

by Toni McGee Causey

Lean on me...

Sometimes in our lives

we all have pain

we all have sorrow.

But, if we are wise

we know that there's

 

always tomorrow.

Lean on me

When you're not strong.

And I'll be your friend. 

I'll help you carry on.

For it won't be long

'til I'm gonna need

somebody to lean on.

If there is a load

you have to bear

that you can't carry

I'm right up the road

I'll share your load

If you just call me.

Not so long ago, we called...

And you listened... and came...

And even though New Orleans still has a long way to go...

A couple of weeks ago, we got to see a little bit of that comeback in motion:

I know to a lot of people, it was just a football game. But for a beleaguered city, for a people who've already been through hell and high water, it was a welcome change.

Right now, there's a huge need in Haiti... I hope that if you haven't already given something, that you'll consider even a small donation. You'd be surprised how much it matters. You'd be stunned how well it adds up, and what a difference it makes. 

In the mean time, tell me about your favorite fictional underdog stories or favorite succeeds-against-the-odds character. 

(like I could resist)
