We're headed for New Orleans!

On Friday there are five of us headed to New Orleans to work on homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Imagine, it's been 30 months and folks still aren't back in their houses! Some homes look just as they did after the storm first hit. We'll be staying at the former parsonage of the Felicity UMC in the Garden District. We are joining 17 members of the Bath UMC and Brunswick UMC. The folks traveling with me are Lisa Abbott, Tim Dutch, Ken Murphy, and Rita Murphy. I'll be sharing, in addition to my daily devotional, some of what is happening on our journey. Wait until I introduce you to some of our greatest supporters! They are leaders in their community and our nation and they aren't even out of elementary school yet!! How awesome is that. They are living examples of how we should reach out to others...but if I share more now, there won't be a story to tell. They know who they are and will be following us through this blog. You are the best!!!! Talk with you later...

We fly out of Portland at 3:30 on Delta. Pray for a safe journey and calm nerves for some who are traveling...
