Returning from Nashville last night we stopped at our church and had dinner and watched a movie that was made by a group that we send over Christmas to help put roofs on homes in and around New Orleans.
After attending a business seminar it was -- well the other side of the spectrum-- but both were about using your god given talents. This past fall several of us helped organize a chili cook-off and auction with which we raised close to $10,000 to contribute to "The Whirlwind Tour." These funds plus much more given by Presbyterian Churches nationwide-- along with hundreds of hours of unselfishly given hard work have helped put roofs on houses that would have been otherwise been bulldozed-- and gave a new hope for those homeowners.
Thanks to all that took part-- There are more trips being organized -- the work continues. email me if you are interested in helping.
