During the flood of 2008, I have been fortunate enough to live in a house on a hill. The damage to Iowa City and Cedar Rapids has been awful, and apparently, most of the major "first responders" like Red Cross, FEMA, etc. are getting out of town. "Done" they say or some such. Just a little problem though, most of the actual damage has not been addressed, and local laws have not been that helpful either. There are some groups coming in to help, despite these difficulties. Personally, I am excited about the Presbyterian Church in America's (PCA) Disaster Relief efforts. I was able to meet the man in charge of setting it up, and the church I attend will be the base of operations for the teams coming into town. I hope to get involved with supporting those teams! The first team comes this week. May they bring relief and joy to heal pain and darkness.
Praise be to God, all glory to the Most High. Grateful for his love and mercy, here I am.
