<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi, everybody!! Wow, it's been a LONG time,
much longer than I ever thought it would be! :) <Smile> I
specifically wanted to share a few things with you today, so let's get right to
it!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>First of all, if you live in the Nashville area, or
just about anywhere in Tennessee, for that matter, I pray that you are
okay! Most of you know by now that Tennessee faced record floods last
weekend ... They came quickly, and so did the damage!! I can't see all the
pictures, but I'm told that in some ways, the scene is eerily similar to
Hurricane Katrina. But in the middle of the devastation have come stories
of hope and a determination to start over. I don't remember ever being
more proud to call Nashville Home!! Stories of extremely heroic rescue and
volunteer efforts abound as the residents of Tennessee work together to rebuild
our beloved state!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>All week I've been asking myself what I could
do. I would gladly volunteer, and maybe I will ... But for now, I feel
that the best way I can help is to get the word out about churches and
ministries that are making a difference. If you prefer to donate to or
volunteer for a ministry as opposed to a government-based
organization, here are a few that I've come across that you might want to
check out ... They're REALLY making a difference and offering compassion and
hope to the victims of this crisis! If you know of others I should
add, let me know, and I will post them in a future letter. In fact, while
I know of many, I'm going to mention only 5 here:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1. The Journey Church, Franklin,
TN</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A small but mighty ministry, Pastor Jamie George
and his flock have been taking food, water, and whatever else was needed to
neighborhoods that were hit hard by the floods. To find out more about
what they're doing, visit </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2. Christ Church, Nashville, TN</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A place that has been close to my heart for well
over 20 years, Christ Church is definitely stepping up to the plate during this
time. I follow them on Facebook, and I have read their pleas for
contributions and volunteers to aid in their efforts. Visit</FONT></DIV>

White says that you can donate to their efforts or find out how to volunteer by

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>5. The Tennessee District of the Assemblies Of
God</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>i would be remiss if I didn't mention the efforts
of the Tennessee district of the Assemblies Of God, which my dad served so
faithfully for so many years!! Not only does their excellent site contain
links for you to contribute financially, but practical needs from churches are
listed there, so that you can contact individual churches. For more

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Again, if you know of others, please let me
know!! The body of Christ has been given an amazing opportunity to show
hurting people that Jesus cares and hasn't forgotten about them!! Thanks
in advance for your help ... And thanks for your prayers for the residents of
the affected areas of Tennessee!!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>On a lighter note, before I go, I do want to tell
you about changes in The Living Room, my weekly on-line radio show. Some
of you may have assumed that I had discontinued the show ... I haven't done
that, but I am now on the air about 45 minutes earlier than before. You

that we celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday here in the U.S., and taking into
consideration the fact that the UK, where The Living Room is being hosted, has
already celebrated it ... We're honoring beautiful, strong, godly women this
week! Music from MANY of your favorite female Christian artists, great
comedy, and a reading or two from Yours Truly ... It's gonna be a GREAT
show!! And if you want to hear a special song from a special lady, let me
