After re-reading both your post and my reply, I realize I came across as very cold, and I apologize for my rudeness.
I just want you to remember that God never gives us a challenge He expects us to fail. He wants us to prevail over adversity, and it looks like you are doing so quite well, even though it seems so hard.
God bless us all, and keep the faith!

First, thank you so much for your reply, and for your graciousness.
FWIW, that kind of challenge...having the coast look like a nuke exploded...is hard. However, for folks from MS, it was just another pull yourself up by your bootstraps moment. I’m old enough to remember Camille. I think the state got the coast back on track without the feds. The MS National Guard did the grunt work.
It’s been five years, however I never fly into Jackson without people who are arriving with me to help. You wouldn’t believe how many kids have spent the last four Spring Breaks in MS helping those who have needed it.
But, those are church kids...they apparently don’t warrent recognition, nor do they seek it.
One thing you can say about us...we’re not whiners. But, generally speaking, we elect good state government leadership. I said “generally”...not always.
This time, Haley Barbour was the right man, at the right time.
Again, thank you for your kind reply. ;o)
