I have been back from New Orleans for almost 2 weeks now. I can't seem to get it out of the mind. I didn't realize that all the destruction would overwhelm me. This picture is just an example of what we did. We pulled everything out of the house (including the sheetrock) and left it in piles by the curb.

This is just physical stuff. Imagine the mental and emotional destruction! There were still 16,000 homes that needed to be mucked out!! 16,000!

Being down there and helping people get their lives back together is what Christianity is about. That is what God has done with me and that is what I need to be helping others do.

I was so proud of all those who went down to New Orleans. The FW teens did a fabulous job. I am so proud of all of them.
