Just in case you are sending money to Texas for the Tom Lee family, please note that the address below has been changed just a bit. We got an update on that address in Sunday School this morning.
You guys have all been amazing! There have been responses from Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and even California. Thank you so much - this is a huge blessing for the Lee family, and their neighbors who also lost their homes!
Also, in case you are local and want to help with the clearing of debris and/or rebuilding, this blog http://shoalcreekvalleyrelief.blogspot.com/ has been set up to tell you in what ways you can help best (days, times, tools needed, etc.)

Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith..."

The Voice of One Who Wept
by Martha Snell Nicholson
Today I heard the voice of one who wept
In far off lands
Because of sin and misery,
And begged with outstretched hands
For one small lamp to light his dark.
Now fain I would have slept,
So - stopped my ears, but in my heart
That sobbing voice still wept.
And then I heard the voice of one who
Counted not the cost,
But left His ivory palaces to seek and
Save the lost.
He said, "The sound of one who weeps
Is coming up to Me.
Does thou forget that last command
Which I gave unto Thee,
To preach my Word to all the world?"
O, bitter be our shame!
Still hopeless millions walk the earth
Who never heard His Name,
And still the world spends lavishly
In every crowded mart,
And still the voice of Him who wept
Is sobbing in my heart!
