Your Purpose Driven Life - Katrina

Your Purpose Driven Life - Katrina

Things are still too busy for me right now to have time to post here. Please forgive me.

I'm expanding and building a website for our New Hope Church at http://www.DisasterCare.com if you want to take a look at one thing that's been keeping me busy (or you want to help the Katrina victims.). We also have a HUGE announcement coming that I can't tell you about till next week.

Blessings -

Your Purpose Driven Life - Day 16a - Hurricane Katrina

.
Your Purpose Driven Life - Day 17 - Hurricane Katrina Preparations
.

Due to our current preparations for a variety of activities we’re planning centered around our upcoming efforts for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, there is no time for a ‘normal’ post today.

(Notice how late in the day this post was made.)

Perhaps I'll get to it tomorrow ... but the victims of Hurricane Katrina are a lot more important than my posting in this blog today ...

Our Church, New Hope - http://www.newhopetn.org - is FEMA–registered and FEMA–certified. As soon as we get marching orders from FEMA, we’re out of here ...

If you really want to help, go to our brand new site at ...

http:?/www.disastercare.com

... and make a donation.

Yes – our new site needs a lot of work, but it’s open and it’s functional. Your donation is tax deductible - and it's REAL help you can give right now.

If you’d also like to see our Church website (currently being redesigned) – it’s at http://www.newhopetn.org/.

Thank you -
Chip
