Bringing back memories

What an interesting night. I spoke with my friend, Johnny Friloux, from New Orleans this evening, man it was good to hear from him. It's surprising how friendships develop over really short periods of time. Anyway, he told me of a church in New Orleans, called the "Spanish Church" that they had been working on, ripping the gyproc (sheet rock) as its called in America, off the walls. He said that the water had been at least 9 ft. high in the church, completley destoying the church. The mold on the walls was at least 1/2 - 3/4 of a inch thick, and multi colored, everything from green to pink, to brown, almost every color. There at least 20 class rooms in the church, and all destroyed. The room of importance in the story was called the PRAYING ROOM, a room 10 x 10, now keep in mind, that there are no doors left inside the church, anyway, he said that when he entered this room ,it was as thou someone had taken a straight edge or ruler and drawn a line at the entrance to the room, as the entire praying room was as clean as snow. Pure white, on mold. Very powerful and amazing. The power of prayer. Also, just finished watching "Extreme Makeover, Home Edition" and saw areas of New Orleans and Mississippi, sure brought back lots of memories, and quite a few tears. No one will ever be able to understand what these folks are going thru, not even people that are there helping. There lives have been so drasticuly changed, some forever. When you are out Xmas shopping this season, please take time to think and pray for the people that have been effected by Hurricane Katrina, Rita, and all the other disasters that have occured around the world.

Blessings
Rocky
