"I don’t want to go back to church and dress up and everything be nice and pretty. What we’ve been doing here is real church, it’s getting dirty and helping people." --Angie G.
Maybe Angie has hit the nail on the head for me. I have been meloncholy since returning from Slidell and Bogulusa LA. Somehow, as Christmas approaches I dont have the spirit this year. Maybe it is the knowledge of knowing that there are hundreds of families still desperate about living conditions. It is hard to ignore the needs of fellow Christians and others at this time. But I recognize that this is an immense problem and I sit in Modesto without a plan to help even one more person in LA. I remain overwhelmed...I seek your prayers for God to grant me peace with this or have God kindle the fire with in me so that I will act on in some way.
I guess I want to experience real church. Church that seeks to bind up the broken hearted, Church that seeks to clothe the naked,Church that does not hesitate to give shelter to the homeless, Church that is willing to get dirty when the need arises!
