Why I started this blog

On August 29, 2005, hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans. In a matter of a few hours, my wife and I lost nearly everything we owned including our home. One of the things that I will never forget about the early days after Katrina was the anxiety of not knowing where your friends and loved ones where located and if they were alright. People from around the nation were wanting to hear from Jaime and I but did not know how to get in touch. I realize now just how important it is to keep the lines of communication open. Our personal relationships are some of the most precious possessions Jaime and I have and are something that wind and flood can't take away. All that said, I decided that this blog would be a good way to post updates about life and ministry in New Orleans, in both good times and bad.
