Well, whaddya know ...

Pictures!

From Beaumont! In April!

Yeah, yeah, whatever ... insert your harrassment and my excuse here ... lather, rinse, repeat.

Better late than never, eh?

But it's a good chance for me to remind the fine folks at Geist Christian Church (or elsewhere, if you're interested) that we have trips #3 AND #4 on the ol' calendar ... just waiting for YOUR name on the list ...

Covington, Louisiana - July 23 - 29
Ooh, look! They gave us the cool week!

Gulfport, Mississippi - September 17 - 23

In an interesting bit of community and coincidence, our Indianapolis friends from Northwood Christian Church (lead minister Kris Wratten, former associate at GCC) spent a week IN Covington, working AT Gulfport, on the church where we'll likely stay in September. She assures me the pews are securely attached to the floor and that that one little electrical mishap should be cleared up in plenty of time ...

It's hard to believe that we're already a few days into the 2006 hurricane season and so much has yet to EVEN. BE. TOUCHED. from the '05 go-'round. Then again, there are folks in Florida, and other parts of the Gulf, still reeling in their trailers, tarps and bottled water from two, three, four hurricane seasons ago.

All the more reason we should pack the bags, roll up the sleeves (heck, cut 'em off, it's gonna be hot!) and GET TO WORK.

Look forward to journeying with you ...
