Gulf of Mexico oil spill estimated at
between 21 million to 45 million gallons
Some Louisiana fishermen are being affected by the massive oil spill in the Gulf, including some hired by BP to help in the cleanup; and there are reported cases of debilitating headaches, burning eyes and nausea, and some industry and public officials are pointing the finger at chemical dispersants as the cause.

However, this time, her husband, David, wasn’t calling to tell her about the day’s catch or to wish their children Aleena and David Jr. a good night.

Christians need to pray for a change, and we need to take back our government.
