So I was driving to school this morning, just like every other morning. I live across the Ole Miss River from the great city of New Orleans, so naturally I had to cross the bridge to get to my school on the other side. As I was starting to cross the river, I happened to look up at the sky. I was AMAZED by what I saw.

It was a rainbow. But not just any rainbow. Sure, I've seen rainbows before while running through the sprinklers on a muggy New Orleans summer afternoon, but those rainbows are usually just a small line of color. This rainbow, situated perfectly over the heart of the city, was the full deal. It was the entire arch. It extended from one point on one side of the city ALL THE WAY over to the end of the city.

Naturally, I took it as a sign. It just had to be. You don't see those things often. Not that big, not that bright.

I'm sure everyone has heard the story of Noah and the Great Flood. At the end of the story, at the end of the storm, the rain, God promised Noah never to drown the Earth again. He used the rainbow as a sign. It was his pact with Noah and his people.

New Orleans has now recieved the same promise. Never again. Never to that extent. It's going to be ok. God said so.
