We are no Japan. :(
As an Alabamian, I am ashamed of these people. But do know there are far, far more who give and gave....
A elderly friend from church whose home was damaged by fallen trees told me several men arrived in a jeep with chain saws the day after the storm and started to cut the trees that had fallen on his home and out buildings, piling everthing up for pick-up, generally cleaning and clearing, even helping him re-shingle his roof and rehange what siding he could find. They introduced themselves with their first names but never said their last. When they were done he asked their names; they would not say. He asked where they were from; they said just a church from Prattville. What church, he asked, they wouldn’t say, explaining they were just there to do the Lord’s work.
