Home from Mississippi

I clearly failed to keep up my goal of making daily posts while on our church/Presbytery's hurricane relief trip to Gulfport/Pearlington, MS.

The good news is that the time I would've spent blogging was instead spent helping rebuild the Pearlington PDA camp, listening, making life-long friends, driving the bus, leading devotions, connecting with people around our Presbytery, cleaning the Gulfport camp, wandering New Orleans, teaching 5 churches the song "come all you people" in English and Shona, participating in communion, telling my youth group I just left a casino by speakerphone, blistering my hands and feet, and feeling called, blessed, challenged and changed in new ways that I can barely put into words.

I will post a summary of our trip in the next day or two. For now I'll say that this trip was one of the best weeks of my life.

As for football today...

GAMECOCKS WIN! Caught the game on radio while driving from Atlanta to Augusta starting with the 4th & 1 sneak conversion that led to the go-ahead TD. Jason Barnes is a beast. Our D is stacked. Chris Smelley is the man, as I've said all along!
