I'm back

Sorry for the delay. It has been a busy summer so far. I just got back from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After three years, I think a lot of people have forgotten about the area. It is amazing to see how much damage still remains. There is empty lot after empty lot. There are still a lot of houses sitting empty, and many that have not been touched. Almost all of hte pine trees are dead, even miles from the beach. Many places are overgrown and have dead trees and branches piled as high as a man. We stayed at a church about two miles form the beach. It is a two story church and they said theat the water came up over the roof line. They are still working on their church, while helping out the community. I don't know if they will ever fully recover down there. but keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they continue the long process of recovery. We did a little work down there, but htere is still a lot left to do.
