The whole situation in New Orleans and the surrounding areas has been weighing heavy on my mind and I'm feeling the need to do more than pray and send money.
I'm thinking about volunteering to go there and somehow help in the relief effort. Does this sound crazy? I have some connections there through nuns that I know and could probably stay with them and assist in whatever they're doing. I couldn't be away from work for more than a couple of weeks, though. I feel so strongly about this and just can't get the images of all the suffering and devastation off my mind. Something (or someone) is telling me this is something I may need to do.
I'll have some time to think and pray about it over the weekend. I'd appreciate knowing what you guys think.
