Well, as I think about our wonderful weekend ahead, I watch the devastation in New Orleans and Missippissi on t.v. Isabel was bad, but doesn't compare. But even then, we can somewhat relate or maybe not. I have already gotten the call to be on standby to go to Missippissi with the Baptist Men Temporary Emergency Child Care Team. Our director has already left to go to find a safe location for the children and us. Our request is to come for the next three weeks. With school beginning next Tuesday, and having 2 new teachers, and 6 more children than we've ever had, I said that I can not go until week 3, IF then. Keep the team in your prayers as they go to help, one to one, child to child, in confusion, turmoil and destruction. But God is there. "Thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God. Isaiah 43:1-3
