Sudden pain all over, The gift of hard work, Upsets my determined love. It was freeing to be, Someone who could labor, For the ministry of the saints.

Poem: In the Midst of Harvey

We want to unburden, Our neighbors in need, But we may have to wait, Til the waters recede. On the news I see, People blessed to assist, Their opportunity for charity, They cannot resist.
