first disaster response

Responded to the Joplin tornado both to "rescue" my daughter and to help with clean-up.
Thanks to Deb Spaulding for reminding/prophesying that when you stop to help ppl you will meet Jesus. Some of the Jesuses I met this weekend: Dr. Ben, a vet who help treat SAR dogs; Rebecca, a fireball, working tirelessly to care for her less fortunate neighbors and friends; Steve, her neighbor, a WWII vet with some interesting stories. We are going to loose a lot of oral history if we don't stop and listen to them. Thank you Rev. Fitzmaurice for remind me to STOP and LISTEN. Neil for fixing us TWO delicious breakfasts and quoting some one else gave good stewardship advice "Show me a church that's not in debt and I'll show you a dying church." Not sure about the debt part, but I would agree to "hand-to-mouth" operations.
