I'm from the gulf coast of Louisiana.

We're finding with our clergy all along the Gulf Coast affected by this storm that they have a need to be a pastor as usual. We'll let him speak, but not until he's reminded that he allow this has happened to him as well as to you.

All of us have seen the pictures of devastation along the Gulf Coast, and our hearts and prayers go out to those families-- especially to the people of New Orleans, which so recently hosted our National Biennial Conference. Like all Americans, we want to help, and we plan to do so by getting additional officers down to the affected areas.
