Gulf Coast food, etc, WalMart Trucks are waiting. Options

Trucks down at our local WalMart are there to be loaded with supplies for those on the Gulf Coast.
They said Americans were filling Walmart trucks up all across America so teeners, help fill em up. Better late than never.

At our house, we did the maximum as what we could afford to be loaded up at WalMart but could have spent the dollars at any place and took supplies suggested to the trucks. We felt wonderful because someone would benefit, maybe live, even with what we could do.

Do something and do it now, not tomorrow but immediately. Yesterday may not have been soon enough.

Fuel prices seem to be stable at $3.39 for 87 octane at the local Kroger. Weird they were out of 89 octane and premium for the last 4 days but have ONLY premium grade NOW for $3.69. Same at other stations all thru the area we rode going to the WalMart truck to be loaded.

Joe, help is on the way. I know it is slow, but I am listening just now to the special report on MSNBC. Just so you might now, we are all praying, and this Sunday we are taking a special offering for the relief fund of UMCOR (United Methodist Commitee On Relief), the church I serve is a collection point for Flood Buckets, Health Kits, diapers, and other needs, and UMCOR is sending relief workers to coordinate the efforts of the volunteers that will be there as soon as cleanup and restoration will begin. We know what you all are going through (I lived just outside of Raleigh, NC when Floyd went through, and were 19 miles from the center of the storm as it roared through) and you and all are in our prayers. If there is anything I can do, let me know. Oh yeah, and by the way, a brother Mason and I are headed down the first of the week with a load of bottled water donated by the local lodges.

Yours in Christ,
pastor david
