Katrina Log: Seeking The Lord's Will On What To Do Next
by Joe McKeever
Oh, I thought you'd find this interesting....
Thursday when we entered our associational offices for a few minutes , I picked up a few things to bring home and got out quickly (no power, no air, no water). A bookmark fell out of my calendar, in which Oak Park Baptist Church in the Algiers section of New Orleans was promoting their block party, scheduled for Sunday, August 28, from 5 to 7 pm. I was to have been there with my sketch pad, drawing children. Watermelon, food, prizes. And on the reverse, this note: "100 percent of the money raised will go to the Tsunami Relief effort." The party was never held, of course, but the irony is wonderful. The hurricane damaged a church the very weekend it was scheduled to raise money to help flood victims on the
other side of the world. Now Oak Park itself will be needing the loving gifts of people's offerings.
