Photo gallery: Ripple effects of the BP oil spill

OIL SPILL PICTURES

Text that accompanied the email I received with the above link:

By the end of viewing these photos I felt like I was at a funeral, and the millions of barrels of oil have only just begun to kill. If you have access to any environmental people, government and elected officials, please send them these pictures; I don't think they know or understand. Louisiana's St. Bernard Parish President went out into the marsh in an air boat and killed the engine. He said there was dead silence---not even a mosquito!

*Most importantly, please, please pray for a miracle; Jesus is the Worker of Miracles; we need a miracle!*

This is a little longer than many emails, but so important for the world to see. This will affect not only us, but the entire United States, and as far as I see it, the World. Please, if you never read or pass on emails, please take the time to read and pass this one on to everyone you know. It's our responsibility as Americans to let EVERYONE know of the severity of this disaster and to realize the long term affects.These are some of the saddest pictures I have ever seen...........please pass along so that more people are aware of the devastation. Out of sight ..out of mind. Also, the more people who witness this ..the more possible change will happen.
