  Houma Village Grand Opening
I've been clicking around on the pcusa.org website, looking for things to add to this blog and found this story with a picture of Beulah! Titled "Houma Village Grand Opening" it's worth checking out.
You can explore the entire site for PDA, just Click Here to go There and take a look at all the different groups and churches involved, different opportunities to serve all over the world, new villages that are opening up, even job opportunities!
Right now, our church is planning another trip down to the Gulf Coast for this fall in October, and I've heard that some individuals from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trips will be going down with other groups too. What a great ripple effect!  ¶ 11:18 AM

  Heroes All



My Friends:

A few days ago I happened to wear my PDA t-shirt to one of my son's
athletic events. Call me crazy, but I don't always wear the same colors as
the other parents. I consider my PDA shirts a badge of honor and wear them
with a great deal of pride. Usually they go unnoticed. On this particular
day as I walked through the bleachers to return to my seat, a man looked at
me and commented to his family "There goes a hero."

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"I said you are a hero." He replied. "You are one of those folks that
went down to Biloxi with my church, Rosedale Gardens."

I thanked him for his kind words and returned to my seat. I then spent
the next hour or so kind of dazed by his compliment. I'm not sure anyone
has ever called me a hero before. Certainly not a stranger.

Please understand this story is not about me. It is about all of you.
If I am in any way a hero to someone than each of you are too. We did what
we did as a team and so we share the praise as a team.

As you enjoy this Christmas season and we celebrate the birth of the
greatest of all heroes, please be assured that each and every one of you is
thought of as a hero not only for your participation in mission work, but
for who you are.

Merry Christmas to all of you!
