Hurricane Relief

Kudos to Cary and Gina Marin who own Little Rock Tours (link)!!! I just heard on KABZ 103.7 The Buzz that they took both of their busses down to New Orleans to help with the evacuations. Wow!!!! I am truly impressed with that effort. If you're ever in Little Rock, PLEASE take a tour from these people, its a great tour to see our wonderful city and they are also very good people.

If you not aware of the Martins, they both used to be on air personalities at Little Rock's ABC affiliate KATV. Cary was an anchor and Gina was a reporter.

I am also wondering why I not hearing about more Little Rock churches doing more to help with the relief effort. I have heard very little from the "big mega churches" in what they are doing. Doing a random search of church websites this morning I found 4 of the mega churches in town of various denominations had NOTHING on their website about doing something for the hurricane victims. The churches that did have something were: Fellowship Bible Church (link), the church at Rock Creek (link), and Trinity Episcopal Cathedral (link). The state associations for the Southern Baptist Church (link)and Methodist Church (link) along with the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas (link)did have information on their websites about how to help or where to get help. I will say this was not an all inclusive search, there are hopefully other churches out there that are doing things as well that I am not aware of...

I would like to say Kudos to the staff at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Little Rock especially. I have received e-mails from them almost daily with pleas for help from the Dean Henry Hudson, the Bishop of Arkansas Larry Maze and the Presiding Bishop Frank Griswald. The parishioners at Trinity have been some of the most active in helping their in community with both their time and money that I have ever seen. This staff and members of this church did restore my faith in organized religion and showed me that people at church on Sunday morning but also follow through by living as good Christians the other 6 days of the week as well...

Ok, I didn't mean to get on this religion rant but I have seen too many people in my life that are in the front pew of the Church on Sunday morning but come Monday, the totally forget what it means to be a Christian the other 6 days of the week...
