Jim you hit the nail right on the head! The country spends billions over seas to support the war in Iraq that was nothing more then a son trying to finish what his father started. We have starving families in the US that get denied financial support and food stamps because $20,000 a year is making to much money? Ok my rant is over…

Over the past six months, several people around me have visited the same area. My daughter went there on a mission trip through our church and said basically the same thing. She went down right after the hurricane and after this last trip said that for the most part everything is still the same twisted mess.

They spent many hours each day in the trailer park communities visiting with the children there. Hundreds and hundreds of children living in small metal boxes with literally no place to play or entertain themselves. It made her very sad to see these children and their conditions. Obviously, she lives in a completely different world where we live but she has been on almost a dozen mission trips at her young age ( she is 16 ) so she has a firm grip on the realities others face in their lives.

Many people use disasters such as this to claim that no real God would allow this type of thing to happen. Here is my take. The people there, especially the children, see hundreds and hundreds of God loving Americans every week come into the most devastated areas and free give their time, attention and money to strangers. This has got to impact and change their lives a great deal more that one single hurricane ever will.

Those who do not believe in God will always find a reason to support their belief. Those who do can always see his work in every situation no matter how horrible it may seem.
