We made it home safely. Just before we left for home, we toured New Orleans. Wow! Rubble, destruction and helplessness. Of the 500,000 people that lived in New Orleans, only 150,000 are living there now. We went to the French Quarter for a tea and a tour. The city is a cultural melting pot. I was grieved though, to see how much vudoo, witchcraft, and decadence was present in the city. So many people need Jesus in that place. On our way out of town, we stopped and bought 125 lb. of fresh shrimp.
It took us 14 hours to drive back to Holmes County. On US 62 we stopped and asked an old order Amishman of he wanted some shrimp. He replied, "how tall is he?" We decided to keep the shrimp.
My experience in Mississippi was a good one. There is nothing better than pouring out our lives for the sake of others. My heart was encouraged to simply keep our eyes on Jesus.
