Our fate is *still* your fate

I have no idea, but I sincerely hope that there are more people like this than there are Vandenfucks in the world.

Read this excerpt.  Follow this link to read the whole post from a volunteer helping out in New Orleans.

And the need for resurrection is so great. I talk about hope, and I feel it. I see reasons for rejoicing, everywhere. But there is also such anger, still. People were forgotten—and they don’t just suspect or feel it, they know it. The national and local response has come from faith-based groups, not from government. The rebuild is being done by residents and volunteers. This city is being remade by the people who live in it, who love it, who will go through fire and flood to call it home. They need help and support—one told me, “We don’t expect it (in the sense of hand-outs)—but we need it.” Please come. Bear witness. Get your hands dirty. Come and love these people.

Thanks, Dr. Jolie, for the link, and Scout for the pic

Rebuilding despite the rest of the country actually makes me feel pretty good. FYYFF and all that jazz.
