Elise and I are in New Orleans this week, campainging for US Representative Bobby Jindal. He is explaining to the students what went on during Hurricane Katrina, and how churches and many people stepped up to help.

Widows could not afford to clear trees and debris from their yards, so people from churches can and helped, considering New Orleans as a mission field.

Bobby gathered a group of pastors together to thank them for what they did. The pastors told him, that they did not need to be thanked. It is what the Church should do, serve and help others in need.

Cajun Dome:
We don't need prayer, we need clean bathrooms. The people did it. All areas of service bring glory to God. Meeting people's needs. Going door to door today, you will be meeting peoples' needs. New Orleans people are resilient. They are happy to be alive.

The greeting after the storm, "How'd ja do?". Everywhere people were asking this.

One of the survivers went on the Tony Danza Show, right after the storm. She won a stove. However, she had just lost her house. She was still happy, though.

When we worship God, it doesn't mean everything will turn out the way we want it to. We may not win every election. The last page of the Book of Life, our God wins. That is what is most important, eternal life.

"I went to DC, and said we need to partner with faith-based groups.", Jindal said.  His opponent disagreed. Every faith-based group she had seen started their days with prayer. She didn't want her tax money supporting prayer. Bobby said "I'm not worried about our kids being exposed to prayer."

Our nation needs to know what the churches and faith-based groups did, to help New Orleans start to rebuild.
