I feel what has been written to date about the February trip is shallow stuff — Worked for Miss Pat, a great team, great people from all over the country… all nice, all good, all blah, blah, blah…
So, OK —- What is the deeper stuff of this trip; of all the team trips? [...]

I want to thank the team I traveled and worked with this past week. They are a great group of people who all had a willingness to be challenged on this trip and to do whatever was asked of them. Thank you.

February 20 “Question of the Day” answered…

This past week in New Orleans where I was working with the poor in inner city neighborhoods, there was much discussion about – as Christians, what is our responsibility to the poor, the needy, the oppressed? What is the believers role in society?
In the February 20 post “Question of the Day” I asked; according [...]
The Question

Terry has been asking us “What has God taught you this week”? After two years, the enormity of the need in New Orleans still overwhelms you. On every block houses sit empty, gutted of their contents. It’s normal to see people living on the second floor of a house while the first floor sits [...]
Finishing up

So we’re making some major progress at Miss Pat’s house. Yesterday, we finished up the landing for the steps and began placing the steps. Today, we actually finished the upper level of steps and are building the lower level platform/supporters for the bottom set of stairs. Unfortunately though, Miss Pats had to leave us today [...]

Our work week will primarily be with Mrs. Pat. An elderly lady, living alone, having a hard time. But, she seems to thrive with people around – she laughs, she jokes and boy, can she talk. She is short – told me once she had her picture taken with a bunch [...]

Too bad there aren’t more….
We arrived in New Orleans Sunday afternoon. There is still plenty to do. But there are some successes and following are a couple of pictures of one. The November 2005 team will remember Gary and Shelita. Take a look. They moved back into their home [...]

Today we set out to help Miss Pats. It was amazing to see how much work still needed to be done. With a group of four, you can say we accomplished a lot. We decided to split in two groups to cover more areas of the house. Terri and Cherri went out back [...]

It’s going on 2 1/2 years since Katrina hit, and really (honestly) the excitement and the urgency has passed for many of us. Yes, we still have teams traveling to New Orleans – but they are fewer and farther between; they are smaller. No excitement, no urgency anymore; our lives and our [...]
