God Bless Texas! 

Watching the news coverage of the flooding and destruction along the gulf has been difficult. It is going to take days, weeks, months, and years to get back to "normal." What has been so impactful is watching the lengths people are going through to help strangers! I have seen people load up their boats (or even buy one) to help rescue people. People have loaded up trailers of supplies to deliver. A furniture store owner opened his showroom as a shelter. Some hospital workers haven't left for days.Teachers are coordinating across the internet to "adopt a classroom" to help fellow teachers. This is just a small sampling of the acts of generosity that are prevalent throughout the gulf region. (Because it's not just Houston that needs the help, despite what you are seeing on the news.) It doesn't matter the political leaning, the race, the gender, or the religious belief. What I've seen is people walking in love, helping other people. We hear so much about how divided this country is, but what I've seen is an incredible display of unity! Texans have truly shown the country what it means to be a Texan, and an American! God Bless Texas!
