It's been three years ago today since Hurricane Katrina began to assail New Orleans. Having been to New Orleans several times for seminary, I had always wondered what bright individual built a city in a bowl below sea level. But when you think about it, did you start out to be where your life has taken you to?
Probably not.
I've received several emails from the seminary telling me what their plans are for Hurricane Gustav. From what I can tell, they've learned an awful lot since Katrina. They've evacuated, locked down, and have put their online course delivery system into place, so no one will even miss a class.
They learned from what happened last time. That's what you are supposed to do from mistakes, from failures - learn how not to fall into them again.
Dr Kelley and the administration at NOBTS should be commended on their prompt and decisive efforts.
