We were over 100 miles from the earthquake – but that didn’t
stop it from waking up John in the early morning as we felt the distant
aftershocks.
We are so sad. Many of
the small towns we’re walking through are just like those little
villiages. So many dead. In the night. The children.
The towns we walk through are
small like this...

So many children were lost... |
Our friend Jenny, a gifted graphic artist,
created this banner. She and her husband
also organized a truckload of cleaning
supplies and volunteers to help the
flooding victims in Baton Rouge.

And then at home, so many suffering as a result of the
floods in Louisiana. Our friends – for whom
Hurricane Katrina (the eye of the storm centered in our little community) is
still very real – reaching out.
Helping. Cleaning houses. Sending supplies.
Flooding in Baton Rouge |
So we walk and we pray.
And we ask for mercy in this special year of mercy.
Survivors escape the water... |
Thank you to all who reached out to us – for both the
Italy earthquake and the floods.
We’re
OK. But we walk and we pray…
