The previous worst hurricane season was in 2004. We raised $135 million then. With Hurricane Katrina, thanks to the incredible support of the American public, we raised $2.116 billion, and we have spent 90 percent of that. Who was ready for 600,000 people who had no place to go?

He's got personality on the field that people respond to. I believe Bernie definitely has raised the awareness of how important the position is. We need to be productive at that position.
barriers changed church cultural far ideas mission name names people raise raised reach
We changed the name because of the mission of our church to reach out to people who are un-churched, those who are far away from God. Sometimes denominational names can raise barriers for people. So many people here were not raised in the cultural South, and they have pretty stereotypical ideas about what Baptists are like.

I think what we're finding across the church is that people are tired of just writing the check for the mission. They really want to do it. We made a commitment to the city to put up 50 roofs over the next couple of months. We hope to perhaps complete 25 this week with the crews that we have.

banging beat brian earn frustrated game games knowing last learned lesson mean playing throwing trusting valuable
I think Brian learned a valuable lesson last week. He was frustrated and I told him, 'They're going to make us beat them by throwing the football, so you need to take that as a compliment.' That doesn't mean you surrender. You keep playing because it's going to be a game where you earn every one of your yards.
