out of chaos, hope

pts friends, you should come to the presentation in the mackay main lounge this tuesday from 12:00 to 1:30. people will be sharing about their experiences working in mississippi during intersemester break. i have been meaning to blog about my time there because it really was an eye-opening experience. but, you still have the chance to hear how meaningful it was for a group from pts to go to the gulf coast and witness the devastation and try in a small way to help people recover from that. there will be testimonies from some of those who went. there will be pictures that tried to capture what is was really like (even though pictures are really not a true comparison to seeing it firsthand, there are still some powerful images that should be seen). the amazingly talented neah lee will be performing a song she wrote about some of the things that are going on in biloxi. and, there will be discussion about how pts can help in the future. recovering from hurricane katrina is not a quick process. they are saying it will take five years but could be up to ten. we can not forget. so, if you are able, i encourage you to come and see.
