Gulf Coast

[Jerry]

Storms are over?? what about Wilma? it's all over our news here.

Graham, from the current projected path for Wilma, it looks like it will hit the southern tip of Florida and miss most of the gulf coast. It will certainly do a lot of damage, but Florida is used to getting nailed by hurricanes and will certainly be better prepaired than New Orleans was.

[Graham]

what with your hurricanes over there and the earthquakes in Pakistan (the toll is up to 80,000 now) and on top of the tsunami...I feel like doing the sackcloth kilt and ashes thing.

My heart truly goes out to a planet groaning and creaking under such worldwide calamities.
Come soon, Jesus!

I've worked with various church groups over the past few years during Hurricane season.You never get used to the destruction and impact on peoples lives.We may not think we can do much as individuals,but it adds when you put it all together.The next time you see a stained glass window,stop and look at it.Those small pieces of glass don't seem like much by themselves,but when you stand back and look at the whole thing,each piece doing its small part together,you have something wonderful.

Good attitude
Good analogy (I'll use it in my next sermon!)
God bless your efforts
