 This is wonderful Fossil

I am impressed with all I have read and seen in the newspapers of what help is going and what help is being sent or going on their own, that most

I have noticed the main stream media outlets spending more time criticizing the President's actions than actually reporting the events unfolding in Houston. They are trying to figure out a way to make Hurricane Harvey his fault.

But it was hilarious to see the lady slam CNN on live television.

 I would bet that more than a few of those pickups had Rebel flag decals on them. Yep, those white supremacist deplorables! God bless them all.
I know one young man near us, whose whole company went down to Texas, including one who had just got married and was on vacation for his honeymoon..... the company is paying their wages and living expenses and supplying the supplies for whatever it is their company does in communications.
Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Your friend's company should be commended for doing their part - and more - to help the victims of this tragedy. Texans have traditionally taken care of their own but the enormity of this disaster definitely calls for more help.

 I remember last year when my town was in distress because of flooding. Most of the help came from church people. The Mennonites built an entire neighborhood calling it Hope Village. There were also several faith groups doing repairs. One woman remarked, "I'll never call them holy rollers again" when she observed men and women getting into the dirt. There were a few churches that sheltered people but quite a were taken into homes. The Greenbrier Resort was opened to flood survivors. Other churches worked as collection and organizing centers. This is one of the reasons I saw red when people started slamming Pastor Osteen because the Lakewood Mega Church did not IMEDIATELLY open the doors to flood refuges. They have no idea what goes into organizing a shelter. Smaller ones can do it more quickly than the larger ones. The Rhema Christian Center was able to open right away because they have done this many times especially in severe snowstorms. I didn't ask some of the fundamental Christians about their politics. I just told them, "Thank You!!"

Then again, some of us actually DO know what goes into organizing a shelter. In Osteen's case, had there not been such a public uproar, his megachurch would still be closed.
