« Gays in the Military | Main | Contradiction? » September 16, 2005On a Mission From GodThis will probably be my last post here at ITA for the next 11 days. This evening, I'm headed to Indiana for my 10-year high school reunion. But more importantly, six hours after I return to the Philadelphia area I'll be leaving in a caravan of 17 people from my church headed to Gulfport, Mississippi to help with hurricane relief efforts. We'll be partnering with an organization called Convoy of Hope, which has delivered 220 truckloads of ice, water, and food to the disaster area over the last couple weeks. As you can imagine, there's not much in the way of restaurants and hotels operating in Gulfport, so we are going as a completely self-contained endeavor. We have a 35-foot motor home and a 20-foot camping trailer that were lent to us, and we'll be bringing a few tents for extra room. I look forward to reporting the results of this trip on ITA after I get back. Your prayers for our team--and all the other thousands of relief workers on the gulf coast--are appreciated.

You'll find running, untainted, water, electricity, gasoline, retail, and restaurants within seven-ten miles of Gulfport. By the time you get there, Gulfport and Biloxi themselves may well be back online. Make sure you don't go down there and become part of the problem itself. greg Posted by: Gregory Travis at September 16, 2005 04:01 PM | permalink Posted by: philosopher at September 16, 2005 04:26 PM | permalink Good for you Eric. Convoy of Hope is an awesome thing- been on a few of those myself. Let us all know how it goes. I'm praying for you and your team. Posted by: Sarah Angeline at September 17, 2005 12:23 AM | permalink When atheists like myself go down to help, on whose mission are we? And didn't God create the mess in the first place? Just a-wonderin' greg Posted by: Gregory Travis at September 17, 2005 12:57 AM | permalink So you just said that there is no God but then you pinned the responsibility on God all in the same sentence? Hmm. Posted by: Sarah Angeline at September 17, 2005 11:59 PM | permalink Post a comment |
