Tommy found an article about where we’re most likely working.. It was interesting that they actually wrote about how this was an intentional Mission for them. It has helped address the spiritual aspect of this mission. I guess we’re not alone
I’m getting the impression Tommy spends quite a bit of time on the web. I hope that he’ll be okay in Mississippi without access to his computer, and assuming he’ll be wired in somehow.
If not, he’ll be accessing mine. Heck, I should have him do this blog 🙂
In the weeks building up to this trip, Tommy’s been on the web doing a lot of research on everything from the location to restaurants in the area.
Map
Hey Guys, I wanted to give you a map of where we’ll be and where we’ll be staying (I’ll give you maps of where we’re working when we get out there and see where we’re assigned.)
But in doing so, I pulled up Google Maps and got sad.
Zoom in/out and pan around the area. It’s really still devastated. Even from the satellite pictures, you can see that a lot of the area is still covered with soil and dotted with temporary housing. You can see the foundations for houses that aren’t there any more.
Honestly, this really puts in perspective that as much as we think we’re in control, we’re not always in control of our lives. This is a humbling hard lesson to learn. For all of us, especially the team.
Someone I know recently returned from the area and said it was difficult to see. It looked as if it had just happened. This isn’t a comment on the lack of work, this is an encouragement to us to try to help both spiritually and practically.
Thanks once again for supporting us on this project.
