Anthill
Today things around here are like an anthill.. so much going on all at once it's hard to keep up with. We have groups here from David Lipscomb University (the tennis team is here), North Carolina, Kentucky, and Starkville. Fellow blogger Tommy is here and is across the street as I type this ripping out a house that is full of mold and mildew. You can only imagine what it is like at this point, five weeks after the storm.
Even with all of the helpers there is more work than we can do. People are coming here asking for help, as most of the churches have shut down their relief efforts. I will appeal to all of my readers to remind your church leaders that there are still hurting homeless people down on the Coast, even if the news has moved on to newer stories. Please don't forget us! We are soooo thankful for every bit of help that arrives, big or small. A man in a wheelchair is taking a bus from West Virginia to here to be of help. He wants to help so badly. He said that if he was in the way, he would go home, but he had to try. That's a great heart.
Our baptistry is drained and the pool pump is ruined at this moment, but we can find water!
I have put up some new pictures at my picture page, located HERE.
I will update as I can... sometimes twice a day...sometimes every other day ... who knows!
Prayers are always appreciated, and that's something all of you can do ... keep on praying. God is moving in so many lives here. I want to do something on an evangelistic note ... but I have too many ideas to settle on just one. If you run out of inspiration for prayer, just think what must be happening in the live of the people who lived in the house below.
Blessings to you all.
