Beverly and I had a wonderful and inspiring visit with the brethren of churches who underwent the trauma of Hurricane Katrina last August.  We were moved by their positive and courageous spirit.  Several have had damage to homes and some still live in trailers as their homes are being repaired.  Their spirit and faith is second to none.  While they had gone through suffering themselves, their focus was on others and the Work of God. Here a few photos taken at services. 

Bev and I were in San Antonio, Texas for the Council of Elders meetings from February 23 - March 1st.  Over the weekend we went to New Orleans.
