I hope that churches volunteer to adopt families. If each church in America adopted just one family, pledging to house, feed, clothe and assist with the finding of employment, it could make a difference. Perhaps one denomination could start by asking each of it's churches to adopt one family, and thereby set an example, and hopefully other denominations would follow. I realize some churches are very small and poor, but most are sizable enough to adopt one family.
I agree: there shouldn't be one empty church building as long as there are people in those large shelters.
I'm conflicted between the need to protect our borders from the terrorists who might take advantage of the chaos and the belief that there ought to be lines of cars looping from the borders of the devastation to our homes and churches.
There's too much "process."
I heard that the hospitals are being emptied -- but the people are being taken to staging areas at the Superdome. That's ridiculous! There should be hospital to hospital tranfers, and transportation should be direct.
