Day 2 - December 14, 2005

Well, to describe this trip after only two days, I can honestly say that it is something that can’t be described. The flight to New Orleans was so much fun, but very tiring as well. I feel like after only a couple of days I’ve known the other people in my group for years. Today, I got to see with my own eye the extraordinary power of God. It was hard walking along roads of total ruin and destruction. I saw a sign that was left in a piece of earth in an area where a home used to lay. The sign said, “We now having nothing except our lives and our dignity.” It hit me hard when I saw this sign and knowing that there are so many people in this city who have lost absolutely everything. A concept that I don’t believe anyone here or anyone who reads this entry can possibly conceive. God is good.
