baton rouge - this is crazy

September 05 2005
my friends who i've talked to in Baton Rouge have said that life is quite different now. that's probably a huge understatement.

this really is hard to imagine: "Baton Rouge, which is about 80 miles from New Orleans, has doubled in size to almost 800,000, by most estimates."

look at lsu's campus map; they've turned it into a city that's caring for the people from further south. and they're starting classes tomorrow!

i'm still a little concerned about my roomate melissa and her family. they're from south of New Orleans in larose, la.

this article is encouraging. those are such great churches and i know that every other church in baton rouge is providing shelter and food as well. i've seen a couple of preachers on national TV from baton rouge and they've been talking openly about how people are crying out to God right now for healing, comfort, peace and hope. I'm so thankful to see the body of christ in baton rouge helping others in their greatest time of need. i mean really serving people. this is what my church from there is doing "the ring"

please pray for them as they show His great love and compassion.

they are thinking about bringing the saints games to tiger stadium now. that would be really neat. read here
