week 10, post 2
Everyone who knows me at all well knows I am an active critic of organized religion. I think I deserve the right to be critical because I'm close to it, I know I happen to be part of the problem(s), and I am also a beneficiary of that which I criticize -- it is a lover's quarrel I have... But honesty also demands praise where merited. One of the groups who are truly coming through for the hurricane victims in this area are the Mennonites. Small but mighty, these humble and hard working people are really doing the job of cleaning up the mess (it is simply staggering how much debris is generated by a hurricane), then rebuilding homes and also building new ones. Their commitment is to stay up to five years, if that's what it takes to put things right! Their expenditure of time and money hugely outweighs that of many other denominations, not to count the per-capita commitment. Thank God for the Mennonites. Praise God for all people of good will whose commitment goes beyond words...
Photo time: In spite of hurricanes, Grand Isle still produces lots of good fishing. This man caught this redfish surf fishing there.
By the way, remember that if you want more size/detail in one of my posted photos, all you have to do is click on the picture....
Peace, Warren.

Hey Warren,
"Posting good."
I have a question for you, if you have time. We hear about the debris, but, the beach in the photo looks really "clean". This is probably a dumb question, but, is most of the debris further inland?
I guess that would figure because the hurricane was coming inland, but, I guess I thought with all the wrap-around winds, or whatever you call them, I guess I figured the beach would be just as cluttered. Or, are there some places better than others? Guess that would figure too.
I AM a landlocked Okie.....
Are those huge fish any good to eat?
Hugz,
