Helping a small church could be the best way to help someone.

Their web page says they need everything from personal items to clothing and bedding to food and water, don't forget first aid supplies.  They said you could send money but there's nothing there to buy anyway.

The address is:

Gonzales Church of Christ

1225 South Purpura

Gonzales, LA  70737

Bigger churches have more people, it's the small churches that need outside help and don't qualify for Red Cross or anyone else to help but people like us.

I do and have - but our church is small, almost all elderly people attend, and I don't seem to have much in common with the people who go there - age difference is probably the case.  Thanks for the suggestion though!!

Many churches tape their sermons for transcription and then they are posted on several web locations.   Especially Lutheran Churches part of the Missouri Society.

I have filled the position, and regardless of the errors in my ad I received numerous resumes, well over 200 for just 2 positions.  I appreciate all of the interest. 

I also appreciate the remarks regarding the errors in my ad.  I am sure those who were greatly upset by them did not apply.  I will refrain from making comments on the errors in resumes I received.  Being as small as I am, again, I appreciate having a location to find those individuals willing to take on a small portion to help me out. ( A dollar here, a dollar there adds up)

I wish you all good luck.

was not the design of the forefathers. The origin was with Thomas Jefferson, when a minister asked that his denomination (don't remember which one) be considered THE religion of the country. Jefferson said he would not give preference to one religion over another. That's how the entire separation of church and state later came to be interpreted.

But despite the "evolution" of things, it's still an excellent idea. I feel that all religion in any way, shape, and form needs to be kept out of the public school system, and that includes closing the school for what are viewed as religious holidays (i.e. Good Friday).

This above link goes to an update on Fox News about the group.  They say they won't go to the funerals if given air time to "espouse Westboro's beliefs." 

This quote is from the daughter of the "church's" pastor:  "Those Amish people, everyone is sitting around talking about those poor little girls — blah, blah, blah — they brought the wrath upon themselves," Phelps-Roper said, adding that the Amish "don't serve God, they serve themselves."

What an unbelievable world we live in.
