   The Baptist General Conference website (www.bgcworld.org/) as well as the Evangelical Free Church of America website (www.efca.org/) are accepting contributions. I’m sure most other denominations have contribution links on their websites as well.

   For all who agree in the name of Jesus Christ, Let us stand on God’s Word and Promise to our brothers and sisters in their time of distress:

   Thank you Father God that Your Word is true, and your promises never fail and your mercy endures to all generations.

   Thank you for fulfilling Your Word to the one’s who are in
   distress and needing your salvation to be delivered from all evil and all danger.
   Psalm.18
   [1] I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
   [2] The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
   [3] I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
   [4] The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
   [5] The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
   [6] In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
   [7] Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
   [8] There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
   [9] He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
   [10] And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
   [11] He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
   [12] At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
   [13] The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
   [14] Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
   [15] Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
   [16] He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
   [17] He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
   [18] They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
   [19] He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
   [20] The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
   [21] For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
   [22] For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
   [23] I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
   [24] Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
   [25] With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
   [26] With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
   [27] For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
   [28] For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
   [29] For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
   [30] As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
   [31] For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
   [32] It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
   [33] He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
   [34] He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
   [35] Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
   [36] Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
   [37] I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
   [38] I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
   [39] For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
   [40] Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
   [41] They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
   [42] Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
   [43] Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
   [44] As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
   [45] The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
   [46] The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
   [47] It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
   [48] He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
   [49] Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
   [50] Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
   We agree in Jesus Name that this word and promise is now manifested on the earth, amen!

    Operation Katrina Soldiers Relief Fund

    “Hurricane Katrina has devastated New Orleans and South Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. The homes and lives of an untold number of our friends and families have been decimated. Included in the ranks of victims are the family members of our soldier’s serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Many of these soldiers will be returning home in the next few weeks to find that their families have been displaced and their homes and businesses destroyed.”

    Give to any charity you wish…I gave to mine. Just check to see how much they actually disperse! I quit giving to a very well know charity years ago when they purchased the IBM building in downtown Columbia, SC. Just remember you want your contribution to go to the victims of the disaster not to pay executives salaries or buy fancy buildings.

    This is not meant to say in anyway that we should not contribute just that we need to use the same common sense we use with any other money we spend. A little investigation can reassure you that as much of your money as possible is going to the people you meant it for.

    A Houston radio station http://www.thebuzz.com/main.html
    has had the morning show on since 6:00AM yesterday (8/31) doing requests only with a donation. As of 1:00PM on 9/1 they are up to almost $175,000 that is going directly to the Red Cross. The radio station broadcasts online and has been getting calls from across the country to play anything from Don Ho to Bert & Ernie singing the Rubber Ducky song.
    Go out and take a listen and make a donation.

    I just spoke with my neighbor (here in NYC) by phone. He says he was talking by phone with a woman who spoke with family in or around New Orleans. The woman said that her mother, a nurse at an area hospital, said that they were trying to evacuate babies from the hospital roof. Machine gun(s) were fired at the helicopter trying to land on the roof, and so the helicopter pilot refused to land. Armed looters were trying to take electric generators from the hospital. My neighbor didn’t know which hospital.

    After perusing the Crooks and Liars blog for the last few days, it just really stikes me at how venomous the Left truly is – and how civilized the Right blogs are.

    If you go to C&L blog, it is just FILLED with nothing but sanctimonious and condescending remarks about Bush and everything related to him. And, of course, they are blaming all of the tragedy of Katrina on him as well.

    Thank you , Michelle, and all of you folks that post here, for reaffirming my belief in this country.

    Fr. Joseph M. McShane, S.J.
    President of Fordham University in NY hposted this

    Fordham’s Response to the Hurricane:

    1. Assistance to Displaced Students: in the course of the past few days, we
    have received more than a hundred inquiries from students enrolled in Gulf
    Coast colleges and universities asking if they could enroll in Fordham’s
    undergraduate colleges until their home schools reopen. In addition, our
    Law School has received more than twenty similar inquiries from students
    enrolled in Tulane University Law School and Loyola University Law School.
    In concert with the other members of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and
    Universities, we have told the students who have called us that we would be
    happy to welcome them to our campuses as visiting students. (I want to
    stress that point: we will accept these displaced students only as visiting
    students and encourage them to return to their home schools as soon as
    those schools reopen — whenever that may be. We will proceed in this
    manner because we do not want to undermine the long-term security of the
    schools in the Gulf Coast area by encouraging their students to transfer
    out of them in their hour of need. Indeed, we want to do all that we can
    to help those schools get on their feet as quickly as they can.) The deans
    of the Law School and all of the undergraduate colleges will work with
    their faculties to accommodate these students in the coming days and make
    them feel at home at Fordham.

    2. Assistance to the People of New Orleans and Surrounding Areas: As we
    know from the news reports that we have all read in the last few days, the
    people of the Gulf Coast region are suffering from unspeakable hardships.
    Therefore, I would like to call upon all of the members of the University
    family to join me in a Fordham Hurricane Relief Effort. As a first step, I
    am contributing $25,000 from the President’s Discretionary Fund to the
    effort. In addition, I have asked that all of the money collected at all
    of the weekend Eucharists celebrated on campus between now and the end of
    October be placed in the special Hurricane Relief Account that has been set
    up. (If you wish to contribute to the fund, please send a check made out
    to the “Fordham Hurricane Relief Fund” to Mr. John Lordan, The Office of
    the Treasurer, Administration Building, Fordham University, Bronx, New York
    10458.) In addition, I would like to ask the officers of the student
    government associations, the Commuter Student Associations and Residence
    Hall Associations on all of our campuses to work with the Division of
    Student Affairs to do all that they can to organize and/or sponsor fund
    drives that will enable us to come to the assistance of our brothers and
    sisters in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. (It is my hope that we will
    be able to raise $50,000 by the end of October. All of the money raised on
    campus will be sent to The American Red Cross and Catholic Charities USA
    with the request that our donations be used by the
    personnel that they have on the ground in the affected areas.)

    Let us continue to pray for the souls of those who died, for the
    consolation of those who mourn, and for the recovery of those who are
    struggling to rebuild their lives. And let us, who were helped and
    consoled by the generosity and kindness of so many of our fellow citizens
    in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, resolve to
    make a difference in the lives of the survivors by reaching out to them in
    their hour of need.

    I wish it were my alma mater, Oklahoma State University, offering free tuition as mentioned in the main posting, but it is in fact Oklahoma City University, a private Methodist college in Oklahoma City. OCU is a great school. I think the average student:teacher ratio is about 12:1 for undergrad. At least I think that’s what it was 30 years ago.
