What New Orleans needs is real hurricane protection. Rebuilding our homes and businesses without that is crazy--like building a house on sand instead of rock. Please keep reminding everyone of that fact. We can rebuild our city on our own, but we need help with the levees.<BR/>Peace,<BR/>TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248664089124106737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1134326018034341122005-12-11T10:33:00.000-08:002005-12-11T10:33:00.000-08:00Cancun and surrounding region were hammered by Hur...Cancun and surrounding region were hammered by Hurricane Wilma, which parked itself on the Yucatan for a day and a half while at Level 4 hurricane status. By January, Cancun will be at 75-80% recovered from all estimate. Obviously there are a lot of differences in the two situation, but I still think there is something worth thinking about.<BR/><BR/>Big Chris<BR/><A HREF="http://mrclm.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Because I said so</A> blogChris Meirosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717903860701408008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1134191018922789562005-12-09T21:03:00.000-08:002005-12-09T21:03:00.000-08:00Thank you Phil.

It's easy to let these things slip our minds with the passing of time - especially this time of year when our own lives are so busy with holiday festivities.<BR/><BR/>Let's not get so busy we forget the needs of our brothers and sisters that have been uprooted down there.<BR/><BR/>SDG,<BR/>CarlaCarla Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395062089776262435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1134183499883937282005-12-09T18:58:00.000-08:002005-12-09T18:58:00.000-08:00Our Sunday School class is considering some sort o...Our Sunday School class is considering some sort of mission trip to do work either in late spring or summer. Do you have anyone I can contact about help. We're thinking of possibly a revival-type trip or either assisting in building projects.<BR/><BR/>My email is topherssgtp at gmail.com<BR/><BR/>Nathan, I will check out your church's site as well.Chris Whisonanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10880112709247835926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1134179757066251762005-12-09T17:55:00.000-08:002005-12-09T17:55:00.000-08:00I'm a member fo a small FIRE church in Texas and r...I'm a member fo a small FIRE church in Texas and recieved the same forward from my pastor. He reminded our congregation that, even if we don't have the resources to meet these needs, we should PRAY that the Lord will provide for these people. When the wake of a disaster is no longer on the front page of the paper and we have given all that we are able to give, we often lose our passion to pray for those still feeling the impact of the disaster.Dustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762905308767604175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1134178015606836972005-12-09T17:26:00.000-08:002005-12-09T17:26:00.000-08:00Thanks for posting this Phil.

Another Church affected by the hurricane was Lakeshore Baptist Church, pastored by Don Elbourne (elbourne.org), and is just a few miles from Slidell. My church has been organizing relief work in Lakeshore for several months now and have put together a webpage called <A HREF="http://www.rebuildlakeshore.com./" REL="nofollow">Rebuild Lakeshore</A>. I encourage everyone to remember that the rebuilding process is far from complete. Please help where you can. <BR/><BR/>Eddie, I have never met you personally, but I hear good things about you from Don and the guys in Lakeshore. Press on brother; we're praying for you guys.<BR/><BR/>SDGNathan Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146269563760139652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1134177837034039542005-12-09T17:23:00.000-08:002005-12-09T17:23:00.000-08:00Thanks for the reminder, Phil.I've been attending ...Thanks for the reminder, Phil.<BR/><BR/>I've been attending Bruce Ray's service's on Sunday evenings at Juanita Community Church. I am amazed at this fellowship's perspective on this disaster. My home church had long stopped talking about Katrina so I was surprised to find that JCC was still talking about and helping victims of Katrina weeks after the event. They have graciously sent their other pastor (Steve Harris) to help out with construction type stuff. I believe he's been sleeping on a cot in the church for the past two months. Amazing. In fact the first evening we visited JCC I helped load a huge van with canned and dry goods for Steve's trip down Louisiana.<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for the reminder.Mike Perrigouehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887588981071314757noreply@blogger.com
