Day Two packing and preparation

It's taken longer to prepare for the journey than I thought it would.


I will be heading out in the seven o'clock hour this evening. The THING is loaded down; I look like I'm ready for the Yukon Trail.


Thank you Lora and Valdosta Tech for the masks.


Thank you mom and dad for the cleaning supplies you haven't discovered missing yet.


Spoke to Jason Chesser today, youth minister at Prattville Church of Christ. Prattville has contacts they are taking care of at the churches of Christ in Pascagoula and Gulf Port. The churches are small and struggling and the tragedy is overwhelming to them. They have trucks of supplies that have been donated, but are short people to distribute to those in need.


Some businesses are up and running again, so some have people have their jobs... but some don't have homes to stay in. Some have homes to stay in, but don't have jobs.


There are places in the highway that are impassable in some areas, I've been told. And traffic is terribly congested, especially near the towns.

I added a "Donate" button to the blog connected to my Pay Pal account, which is connected to my personal bank account. This is so that my family could give me money without having to Western Unionize it or mail it. Anyone is welcome to give, if you do give, please indicate what you wish me to do with it... whether it's for my personal expenses or to give it to someone else. It's always a good idea to give directly to churches like Tammany Oaks, Ocean Springs, or the American Red Cross or any other reputable non-profit.
