Packing the tent and bags. Ready to go home. I look around and see many faces of fellow workers, brothers, sisters, and friends. Many memories. Too many stories. As I think back on the week and as my tent comes down, I see in my mind snapshots, one or two word pictures of my experience here in Slidell, Louisiana.
