I would like to share some good news. I talked to a FEMA rep today and he helped me with the whole process. He was very efficient and kind. He said I will receive property damage, and rental assistance, it should hit the bank in next two days. Next I have to submit a couple of documents and pictures and someone will contact me to assess the damage and they may just do it via Zoom, thankfully I have plenty pictures. I may also be eligible for additional rental assistance, ( Praise Jah) Also I thanked him and was able to tell him about Jehovah and JW.ORG Now I am waiting on my car insurance adjuster.

I'm am so happy to be well and so thankful to Jehovah and the loving support of our worldwide brotherhood. I am truly grateful. Comforting Scriptures sent to me along with texts: 1Cor.4:8, Proverbs 3:5, Jerm.17:7, of course Isaiah 30:15 Isa. 33:6, Nahum 1:7, Ps. 107:29, 30 and so many more. Thank you friends here for listening and caring. Thank you

we went hwy 90 trouble on parts 1-10

Can I post some pictures of aftermath where I live?

Hi I have not been able to get internet until now. I wanted to give an update. My friend and sis from Evergreen, LA which is near Marksville picked me up. What a blessing, she drove 5 hours to get me and of course 5 hours we arrived 10:40pm last night. I had no phone service it was in and out. There are many friends throughout that have been affected. So far i have not found out who, I will get on Facebook after this and see what I can find out. I do have friends in Laplace they left pryor, but have lost just about everything. I have been worried and praying for everyone. So as for me, my apartment flooded, the roof came down on top my car, we had to stay until it was safe to leave over Sunday night, praying the ceiling would not fall and it did not. Was able to move out a few things and bring to sons shop. The friends here letting me stay as long as need be. I have food stamps, applied for Fema and was able to contact insurance for my car. I am just grateful to be ok. Have continuously relied on Jehovah. Friends have sent me much encouraging Scriptures. Thank you all for your concern. I just found out some friends are evacuating now they have tarps on their roofs. I pray everyone is safe. New Orleans East just got power. Oh and my son is with a work buddy he 42 not in Truth, and when power is restored they will let him stay at the shop he changes oil and tires. Thank you, much Christian love.

Look Brother it was to late to invoke a mandatory evacuatio they had no time to do a contraband. I live here, you are reading news I am living it. Anyone outside of the levee protection which is low lying areas in Orleans and Jefferson parishes. The source is here not what you are pulling up. To maintain Christian conduct, I will not pay attention or reply to anymore of your posts after this. I live inside the levee protection, most elders are here as well as group overseers. We were not ordered to evacuate only voluntary in our area. I have the news on nonstop as well as alerts on my phone. Thank you.

On the lighter side I was able to give a witness to my neighbors for about an hour. It had a calming affect on me. And of course I am able to speak to my son. I know how to prepare and what to do as I have been going through Hurricanes since the 60's. And like they say every storm is different. We just went through Zeta last year and the eyewall went clear across us, it was very strange outdoors. We have back up supplies and are ready to help friends where needed. I live in an area with a big Coroner's bldg. two stores, the main police station and a big fire house.

If it had been a mandatory order as direction of the Slave all of us would have found a place to go I know Jehovah provides.

We have little money my family not serving Jehovah. We are prepared as most friends are.

I have not posted in a long while. But I am on the Westbank of New Orleans. I am nervous to be honest. We definitely need everyone's prayers. A lot of friends are here and in Houma area where the hurricane will hit. The news said 150 mile winds when it hits, which means Grand Isle and Port Fouchon possibly can be wiped out. As far as know everyone has evacuated that area. We are having strong wind gusts now. We are as prepared as we can be. I live with my 42 year old son, but I am the only in the truth. I have several family members around here. I will try to keep updates. I pray we are not flooded, that is my main concern.

Thanks, I know for sure it wasn't 1978, because both my boys were small my 2nd son was born in 1978

It does not sound familiar, do you have the one for 1980? I know it had to be CA, because there was no district convention in New Orleans, they were in Baton Rouge. Thanks for your help.

I am trying to find the theme for the Circuit Assembly in the fall of 1979, please. I just recently learned the date on my publisher card for my baptism is wrong. I left the truth for many years and have also forgotten the date. I was baptized in New Orleans in 1979 at the Circuit Assembly at the Municipal Auditorium. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You But the way, I have been back since 2011....

Dolly Parton's movie the coat of many colors comes on tonight at 8pm, looks like a good movie.

I kinda thought Barrett would do through, but wasn't sure. I think Emily has a good chance of winning. I really thought Jeffery would go through, now since he was saved don't think he will win. I really think Jordan deserves it he is the best. But America is voting.....that being said it would not surprise me if Emily or Barrett win this., Just my thoughts......have a nice day!

I really like the Voice. This season has really been a good one, last night performances were terrific. My meeting is on Tuesdays, so I have to go online the next day to see the highlights......I think the final four will be Jordan, Shelby(or maybe Amy), Emily and Jeffery(my fav performance of his was last night)..... Oh maybe I will look on here after the meeting tonight to see who the final four are....

Hi Leslie, I just sent you a message. I would like to take a trip up there and check things out. How is the weather this time of year? Is there snow? Chat with you soon.

It can be rough at times working in this world. I usually just say when asked to some type of celebration, donate money, eat birthday cake, etc...." Oh I 'm sorry, I thought you knew I was one of Jehovah's Witnesses." I try to always be brief in my response. Most people are accepting these days, especially when you can quickly respond. I have been able to answer many questions after work and on lunch breaks. The most important thing is to always, always pray to Jehovah. Especially when you can at work.

Sounds simply delightful, I will have to make these for the grand-kids this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea Richard thanks, I have Noah on the top floor, I will be moving the animals around. I have to go today and find little people

This may or may not be finished, here are a couple of pictures. What do you think? Anyone? Should I complete it with the roof? or leave as is, any suggestions? Thanks

The almost finished project.

Here is an almost finished project of my Noah's Ark, help!!!, how do I add Picture here?

Thanks MizPeg, I have done a lot of research so I have a lot to share with the residents, we are attempting to start this project Oct 13. They are all looking forward to it. We have decided to make smaller ones, because everyone has a handicap just about, and some would like to bring it back to their room. I love the picture Michael thank you. I am getting cardboard boxes from the Coca Cola Co, we are using Popsicle sticks and hot glue, I am getting a few craft supplies donating from Michael's Crafts and getting hay from the dollar store.
