    It's been 19 years since Hurricane Katrina caused massive destruction and loss of life in the Gulf Coast area, especially in New Orleans.

    In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, it was plain to see that while natural disasters can bring out the worst in people, it can โ€” and does โ€” bring out the very best, too.

    Take, for example, the friendship of little Tanisha Belvin, age 5, and her new friend, fellow evacuee Nita LaGarde, age 89. It was on Sept. 3, 2005, and they were being evacuated from the New Orleans Convention Center. Seeing that Nita was alone, Tanisha stepped up to hold her hand and provide a degree of comfort to the elderly woman.

     More heartwarming stories and pictures can be seen in the book titled "The Terrible Storms of 2005," available...

Dale Brown Court: ... and the Battle for Human Dignity

    The biography of renowned former LSU basketball coach Dale Brown, focusing on his role as leader of the successful decades-long campaign to reform the NCAA rule book. Proclaiming for years that "the NCAA legislates against human dignity," his tireless efforts are today benefiting some 500,000 student-athletes per year across the United States โ€“ making him a true national hero. A civil rights leader and humanitarian, Brown was finally honored when the LSU basketball court was named for him in 2021. The book solves the mystery of how and why the honor was withheld for many years by the deep state of LSU athletics. The winningest men's basketball coach in LSU history, Brown is the coach who first recruited NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal.

   Remember this lady who appeared on the cover of "Cajun Cooking"? Some say she looks like everyone's grandma!

    Well, she's back โ€” or at least the cookbook is back in print after being out of print for several years. (It was first published in 1980.)

    The lady's name was Mrs. Amelie Naquin of New Iberia; sad to say that she has passed away. She contributed her famous Stuffed Shrimp recipe and others to this book. In all there are over 400 authentic south Louisiana recipes here: Jambalaya, Crawfish Pie, File Gumbo, Couche Couche, Maque Choux, Stuffed Mirliton, Crawfish Etouffee, "Dirty Rice," "Lost Bread," candied yams, and many more.

    Theologians and others who have the Church's best interests at heart have been saying this for a very long time.
There's no doubt the Catholic Church has lots of room for improvement.
    One such theologian is John Wijngaards, who is revealing his 10-part plan for Church reform in his new book titled "Ten Commandments for Church Reform: Memoirs of a Catholic Priest" The book is theologically sound, and recently was named "Best Book by a Small Publisher," awarded by the Catholic Media Assn.
