Help Katrina Victims Now

If you've been watching the devastation of New Orleans it seems to only be getting worse as the levees continue to spill water into the city and lawlessness reigns. Pray for this city and the surrounding area, and please either give blood or money to the Red Cross.

Rock/Creek Outfitters has set up a blood drive in Chattanooga and is seeking donations for local refugees: http://www.rockcreek.com/events/nola_blooddrive.asp

This page also has a link to the Red Cross where you can donate by credit card on the Web.

I've heard from Jack McCown in Mobile and he said their yard didn't look good but the house wasn't hurt. I still haven't heard from Jeff Wheeler from Mandeville across the lake but I pray his family is okay. I'm sure they fled to Chicago. My friends the Plummer family on Audubon Avenue in the Garden District probably need our prayers the most as their house is completely under water and they will almost certainly be unable to return for months. This is a city I love very much and I hope we all can help in some way during the reconstruction.
