Tornado Cleanup

Wow! That is my response to both the destruction of the tornado and the response of Piedmont Church. We made a call for PC to help with the debris cleanup and within a few hours we had around 30 people to help remove branches. We had about the same number of residents of the so called "rough" neighborhoods that we were in to come out and help. We had an army of people. White and Black working next to each other, laughing, helping, and doing what needed to be done. It was an amazing scene.

To see a slide show go to our family blog at http://dingmore.blogspot.com

In the end we did what the church should always do and that is help people. We ended up clearing 5 major street blockings, a driveway for an elder couple, and removed a tree laying on a car. The people we helped were amazed and shocked.

I can not thank enough the people who came to help. I know that God is going to honor you for it. It was incredible and we dominated the area with the grace of Jesus Christ.
