And Todays Sermon is......

(name) is a retired preacher in McComb, MS.

To my friends and family:

What I have seen since Katrina:

The poor and the wealthy hurt by the storm.
Black, white, Hispanic, oriental and Indian all hurt by the storm.
Christian people giving, giving, giving.
Churches going all out to minister in Jesus' name.
Neighbors going door to door helping one another.
Thugs and hoodlums going door to door looking for someone vulnerable.
Ice and water being fought over as police tried to keep the peace.
People coming up from New Orleans taking over empty houses because
shelters are full.
Out of town volunteers coming with food and staying for weeks serving it.
The Churches all over this part of the country doing what Christians do
in a crisis.
FEMA doing a wonderful job in getting help to us.
The Red Cross doing a great job in the shelters.
The Salvation Army doing a great job in the community.
Four hundred crewman from everywhere bringing back the power to our
homes, churches and businesses.
Lines at service stations a block to a mile long.
National Guardsman patrolling the streets of Mccomb along with Kentucky
policemen protecting us from the hoodlums and thugs of McComb, Pike County
and New Orleans (the most dangerous city in the world before Katrina).
Drug dealers working outside shelters.
Doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel working tirelessly,
without sleep, doing the job God called them to do.

WHAT I HAVE NOT SEEN:

The ACLU setting up a feeding line!
People for the American Way helping in the shelters!
The NAACP doing any work whatsoever!
The American Atheist organization serving meals in the shelters!
Jesse Jackson directing traffic at the gas stations!
I could go on but you get my message. Its the Christian people with
love and compassion who do the work. The gripers in Congress should
come on down and get in line to pass the water and the ice. Are you
listening Hillary, Chuck, Teddy, and all you sorry loafers we refer to
as Senators and Congressmen. They don't have a clue as to what this
life is all about here on the gulf coast.

Boy, I feel better now!

Land Warrior, do you really think it would be otherwise? Those groups are all about talk and no action. Litigation and no personal responsibility. Citizenship and no civic duties.
