And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:17

     We accepted donations and loaded them in trucks at our church's community center.  I then drove to the church and, with many others, put together lunches for 500 victims and wrote personal notes to put in each one.  Our church through it's congregation has raised over 1.2 million dollars to help provide for the victims in rebuilding their lives.  Most other churches are doing similar collections in Oklahoma City.  In conversations with other church members today, we are in agreement that we think we should not accept Federal Government aid.  We think we could do it on our own from donations locally and nationally and worldwide, and do it in a much more personal and efficient manner.  

     Surely someone is cursing your Lord over this catastrophe I heard a national news anchor ask a minister in a TV interview. I didn't get to hear his reply, but mine would have been, if they are cursing our Lord over this, then he is not their Lord. 

     Saw one of the local television stations taking donations form viewers who drive to the tv station.  A semi trailer truck had just pulled up loaded with contributions from people in Indiana.  Surely, God has blessed  you folks in Indiana and all over who are giving so generously.  I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to help you in some way.   

     I did so little today, but it takes so little per person when so many are helping and all was done for our Lord's glory...not ours.  God Bless you all.
