This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Help New Orleans Victims needed...........

    My wife and daughter decided to join our church's youth mission trip this year and they have gone to New Orleans to help out flood victims rebuild stuff. My wife just called and was in tears because of what she saw down there. She said not everyone can live in a fema house, some are still living like its the stone ages. She was told that the death rate was in the 1300 a month(?) from under 500 or so since Katrina. She was told that a church in the area was nearly under water and 30 plus people went over a week and a half in the 100 degree plus without water, food, or a bathroom before being rescued.:shock: She also added that they may have survived the hurricaine but wont survive the health issues everyone has now because of it. She said that it still smells like dampness still almost like the smell of wet dog poop. Everywhere you look you can see what the water damage has done. Nothing she has seen on the internet or on the news prepared her for what she is working in there. The church they are staying in is at 51st and Franklin and they are all sleeping on cots in the church. The church is sponsoring them with a place to stay and meals. They get to help out with landscaping today. The wife will be planting scrubs and plants and the daughter gets to go help clean another yard a couple blocks away. They both are on teams of 8 or so and will be there all week.

    My request here is that if you can pray :pray: for the workers and the people who live there in N.O. please do so. They are not done getting back on their feet. If you can financially send money :dollar: to help send it to the church at

    GENTILLY BAPTIST CHURCH
    5141 Franklin Ave.,
    New Orleans, LA. 70122

    If you want to go there to volunteer call them and see what you can do to help.

    Phone: (504) 282-6467

    The church needs money to buy supplies to feed and house those that are there to help out plus to buy things needed to rebuild the area around them. Look at this webpage and read about what is going on there.

    I just heard from my wife tonight and she told me that the woman she was helping today was in her 60s and she lost her husband in the flood. She was very grateful to the kids for helping out. She was in the yard all day with them helping. The ladies nephew showed up around noon and was there to help too but my wife said he was more in the way than help.
