New Orleans

So, I've just finished reading and watching the goings on in New Orleans. I have been shocked by the looting occurring and I am disgusted by it. I am not talking about those who have to steal to obtain food, water, clothing or necessary medicine, but I speak of the many pictures of people walking around with boxes of electronics or shopping carts full of stuff not necessary for survival.

It speaks of the depravity of humanity. It speaks of the discrepancy between the "haves" and "have nots" in our culture. It speaks of our need for a Savior.

I have to preach about grace and forgiveness this week. In the light of the crimes I have read and seen this past week, it will be tough. Grace and justice--it is hard to match those together. I pray that these people get relief soon and the authorities get things under control.

Here we go...

I am officially a blogger. Tune in while I find out more about the goings on about how this works.
