I understand your itch. I think many Christians here in America (and some abroad) feel it, too. My vacation schedule probably won't allow me to go until at least January - but it appears more work may need to be done even then.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, as far away as here in Arizona, it appears that we will have some 1000 of New Orleans' evacuees arriving here. Our church is holding a meeting on Wednesday night to see what we can do to help.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed your post regarding the race issue - it was very thoughtful. The images from New Orleans are heartbreaking, especially when you consider that the hardest hit were the ones who were already hurting anyway. There's a quite a few people wondering if the lack of action was racially motivated. I'd like to think not. This is 21st-Century America after all. But if it did happen that way, then God have mercy on those responsible.<BR/><BR/>I hope and pray that out of this tragedy there can be true healing and reconciliation amongst all Americans.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09201390336050808666noreply@blogger.com
