This is a quick note - no audio on this entry -

PLEASE consider a donation in relief for Hurricane Katrina. Support to organizations like the Red Cross or the Salvation Army will assist them not only in this current emergency, but it will help them prepare for the next one as well! batlh yInob! Give with honor!

 But this I say,
      He which soweth sparingly
           shall reap also sparingly;
and he which soweth bountifully
           shall reap also bountifully.

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart,
  so let him give;
not grudgingly,
  or of necessity:
                     for God loveth a cheerful giver. 

2 Corinthians 9:6,7
