NEW ORLEANS, LA Aid has officially begun trickling out of the state, as the first aircraft laden with thoughts and prayers departed New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport early this morning headed for earthquake victims in Ecuador. A flight also took off shortly after headed for Japan.
Both countries have been affected by strong earthquakes in the last week, and the generosity of Louisiana residents was clear as almost 1.5 million thoughts and prayers were donated to the American Red Cross in the past five days alone, all of which will definitely help victims in rebuilding their lives.
A small ceremony was held at the airport prior to the flights departure, in which New Iberia resident Joni Breaux, official world record holder for Most Prayers Sent Via Facebook cut a ribbon to mark the beginning of the aid shipments.
Just for laughs

(60,344 posts)1. The Thoughts and Prayers are for the victims to help them selves
to pull up their boot straps, which are buried under the rubble.
If you help them, then they will become dependent upon your help.

But you can do something to praise Our Lord today!
Just send me ten dollars and I will send you this vial of Miracle Spring Water blessed with hope and prayers.

Homeopathy says so.

... which might lead one to think deep thoughts about the definition of "religion."
