annnnnddd ... we're back!

Truth be told, we've been back to the gulf coast - three times! - since last this blog was published:

CYF (high school youth) - July '07
TrueNorth (all men's trip) - September '07
Selah (all women's trip) - February '08

and yet your faithful associate minister (and blogger), was not so faithful in that task, for which I vastly apologize. Later this week, look for photo albums from those trips, and terrific reflections from the youth on the 7/07 trip. (Man, it's embarrassing just to type that!) (* Edited to add: Ha! And even more embarrassing, you'll have to look for them NEXT week 'cause the drive? With those files? Is sitting on my kitchen table. Oy vey.)

Now that we're back - literally - again, we'll have photos and news and notes for you throughout the week, as we try in whatever small measure to offer the gift of ourselves, and the love of Christ - and from Geist - to the amazing souls of New Orleans.

For now, a night's rest. Work starts at 8:00am.

You are in our prayers, and we know we are in yours.
