BEAUTIFUL!
I have been trying to get the word out about the Channel 4 TELETHON for Nashville tomorrow (Thursday, 5/6) night from 7-10pmCST. They are going to stream it LIVE ONLINE

PLEASE spread the word!
prayers for the Nashville people from upstate NY, Jesus is with you
That would be a great loss, indeed.
PROUD to be in the same state.
Here is the Salvation Army Link - You must put “Nashville” or “Memphis” or wherever you want your money to go in the “special use” box on the donation page if you want it to go there...

God Bless those in need.
I saw the photos and some news on CNN today even....they showed a lot...amazing they said you might look at a house seemingly underwater showing the second story ...only to realize it’s the third story of a building you’re looking at.......they showed where a sports field was...now under 15ft of water!
I too wondered why there wasn’t more coverage...streaming at that... for how hard the area was hit.
May the Lord God continue to strengthen the spirit within the people of Tennessee to withstand and re-build from this detruction.....and awaken the people to the need for help where we can do just that. Amen
Now appearing at the Grand Ole Opry, Jonny Cash:
How high’s the water, mama?
Five feet high and risin’
How high’s the water, papa?
Five feet high and risin’
Well, the rails are washed out north of town
We gotta head for higher ground
We can’t come back till the water comes down,
Five feet high and risin’
Well, it’s five feet high and risin’
Facebook page, www.facebook.com/NSAMidSouth, Navy base flood.
Meanwhile, a little over 200 miles away in West Tennessee, the town of Millington - now the home of a Navy Administrative center, but for many years the home of Naval Air training - has suffered a similar level of flooding. The Navy Base is temporarily shut down, which has frozen ALL navy and marine officer and senior enlisted promotions until it re-opens.
And the town itself has suffered equally. A personal friend of mine moved there in 2005 from New Orleans, as a refugee from Katrina. He came home from a weekend trip to learn that his apartment - in a large apartment complex - had been flooded a little over a foot deep. And the old car he had been restoring in the parking lot had been completely submerged.
I don't think it's a move you would regret. I moved here 11-years ago with my husband for his work and had some inane, misguided reservations about living in "The South" but within weeks of our arrival I fell in love. We're here for good (although at times I think we didn't move far south enough.)
Good article. I just heard Dave Ramsey read this and thought I would ping you.
