Katrina

Like most of you, I've been thinking about hurricane Katrina incessantly. And asking the question: what can we do?

We've got a couple connections.

I know some of the guys at Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and they have transformed themselves into a relief center. Here's a blog from John Sargeant @ the leadership blog.

Real Hurricane Relief

In the wake of hurricane Katrina, Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana has transformed itself into a relief center to receive and distribute items and services of need to the people of south Louisiana. We don't have time for another all-star telethon! I challenge all bloggers to post the link to the church or Red Cross. You can also see pics of the relief effort at Pastor Dino Rizzo's blog.

PM,

Thanks for the link to the Healing Place Church. I was hoping to see you mention this in your blog and provide a connection point for us NCCers to respond with our gifts in a Spirit-led way.

N.23:23

Samuel F.B. Morse Sent the First Telegraphic Message
May 24, 1844
What was the first telegraph message? Sent by inventor Samuel F.B. Morse on May 24, 1844, over an experimental line from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, the message said: "What hath God wrought?" Taken from the Bible, Numbers 23:23, and recorded on a paper tape, the phrase had been suggested to Morse by Annie Ellworth, the young daughter of a friend. The success of the experiment would change forever the national communication system. But Morse wasn't just interested in the telegraph.
