It’s your decision to live
In a world that’s cloudy and glum
Or you can make the decision
To live in a world of color and fun

When life hands you lemons
You can either go out and make lemonade
Or you can sit around feeling sorry for yourself
And put your hand out for government aid

It’s your decision to live
In a world that’s cloudy and glum
Or you can make the decision
To live in a world of color and fun

A Poem: The Kick

It happened at Tulane Stadium
Tom Dempsey was his name
He played for the New Orleans Saints
Kicking field goals was his game

He was born with only one hand
And his right leg only had half a foot
But Tom Dempsey had a great big heart
And for the Saints, that’s all it took

His teammates called him Stubby
Tom had a tremendous smile
He loved drinking beer with his buddies
They would overdo it every once in a while

He woke up that Sunday morning
It was overcast, and the sky was grey
November 8, 1970, was the date
And Tom Dempsey was ready to play

The Detroit Lions had come to town
They were indeed the team to beat
The Saints were down 17-16, with two seconds left
Most of the fans were heading for Willow Street

Coach Roberts had a decision to make
Everyone knew the game was on the line
Kilmer could throw the Hail Mary pass
But the Coach wasn’t feeling The Sign

Then one of the trainers suggested Tom
And Coach Roberts said, “Oh, what the hell!”
He screamed, “Dempsey, get your butt on the field!
Win the game, and you’ll have a story to tell!”

He ran onto the field wearing a big smile
Because Tom Dempsey came ready to play
He felt confident that his foot was ready
He told everyone to move out of his way

Jackie Burkett’s snap was just perfect
So was Joe Scarpatti’s field goal hold
Dempsey approached straight-on and swung his right leg
A perfect kick, as the story was told

The ball sailed through the air in slow motion
It cleared the crossbar by no more than an inch
He kicked a world-record 63-yarder
Tom Dempsey had come through in the pinch

The whole team put Tom on their shoulders
A new world record, second to none
A few people were still left in the stadium
They couldn’t believe the Saints had won

While most fans had already left the stadium
Many claimed they witnessed The Kick
What will always be one of the Saints' greatest moments
Most witnesses are laying it on thick

Whether you were in Tulane Stadium that day
Whether you witnessed The Kick or not
Stubby’s record held for 43 long years
That day, Tom Dempsey took his best shot

Old Absinthe House - Circa 1805 entresol-type storehouse. The first story is taller, allowing for the entresol, or between-floor mezzanine, lit by high, arched transoms. With commercial space below and the residence above, the entresol was used for storage and stock. The rich history of the Old Absinthe House includes the legend that General Andrew Jackson conferred there with the famous pirate Jean Lafitte resulting in an agreement to release certain of Lafitte's jailed pirates in exchange for help in Jackson's defense of the city during the 1815 Battle of New Orleans. However, the same legend is claimed by another French Quarter establishment, the Original Pierre Maspero’s. "In 1950, the owner of Maspero’s Exchange filed suit against the Absinthe House over the right to post a historical plaque on the building. That same year the Absinthe House installed a marker which read: 'Old Absinthe House. Legend has it that Andrew Jackson and Gov. W.C.C. Claiborne met here with Jean Lafittte on the secret floor to plan for the defense of New Orleans. The Battle of New Orleans was fought Jan. 8, 1815.' In February 1951, a Judge in Civil District Court, Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, dismissed Maspero’s lawsuit, ruling: 'Legend means nothing more than hearsay or a story handed down from the past.' Both Maspero’s and Absinthe House still lay claim to the legend."

When someone asks you to "pray for thee," it's a request for help, a way to acknowledge one's limitations and trust a higher power. It's often a response to an undesirable situation, such as illness, loss, need, crisis, or, in the case of Louisiana, a powerful hurricane.

Some Louisianians believe that praying for others is a way to live out unity with one another and to pray to Mother Mary on behalf of others. They believe that Mother Mary hears and responds to prayers for one another.

The Hurricane Prayer: Mother Mary, Pray For Thee

When it’s early in the morning
And the storm rises over the sea
Always keep me in your prayers
Mother Mary, pray for thee

As the showers beat down upon us
We seek comfort under an old oak tree
Always keep me in your prayers
Mother Mary, pray for thee

In the evening, when the storm is over
And the crickets chirp merrily
Always keep me in your prayers
Mother Mary, pray for thee

At night, when the stars come out
And the moon shines gleefully
Always keep me in your prayers
Mother Mary, pray for thee

As you watch over all of Louisiana
And you are still there for all to see
Always keep me in your prayers
Mother Mary, pray for thee
