Christmas in New Orleans
I was asked to cross-post this here, and I'm glad to do so.
-----
Just wanted to share an entry from a blog I've been following and enjoy very much. It's written by a guy who's living with his family in a FEMA trailer in an almost abandoned neighborhood in New Orleans. It's very well written and his words really help you visualize what those who remain in the city are going through and how much more needs to be done.

Anyway, he has a lovely post up about his Christmas decorations this year. It's defiant and sad and wonderful all at once.

3. What a wonderful blog!
Thanks for posting the link. I'm keeping that Christmas story in my files for my next Christmas Eve service.
