The Tribe Gets It Right!

Headline in the local paper today: "Churches have been their rock: Houses of worship win praise for swift response to evacuees' plight."

Our own church, over 500 miles from New Orleans and 30 from Dallas' main temporary housing shelter, is doing lots of good stuff...in fact, our biggest problem right now is that so many people are wanting to help in some way that their well-intentioned service creates unnecessary "doubling up" on some facet of the work to do.

When fruit of the Spirit is evident, especially "love"...well...we're being what we were created to be, and whether that is a headline in the paper or an unseen hug and a Wal-Mart card in a hotel, it's a glimpse at "the better angels of our nature." (props to Abe Lincoln for that description).
