A life long friend that resides in Tishomingo County works for TVA. He arrived in southwest Louisiana just a short time after hurricane Rita came ashore. His crew repairs and maintains transmission lines located on steel towers or extremely tall poles. Our conversation last night was enough to stop me cold. I ended the evening in prayer.
TVA, aka Tennessee Valley Authority, has erected circus size air-conditioned tents to house workers. Parked just outside are huge truck trailers that have showers and such. Meals are furnished and they are well equipped considering the circumstances. The work days are long and they are busy around the clock.
Most people in this area evacuated as instructed. The few folks that have returned are grateful for the workers and also the aid that surrounds them. There's no finger pointing and nay-saying. Human beings helping human beings. Hearts are crying out and people are responding. The Mississippi Rising fund raiser is now at 15 million dollars! Many other organizations are lending a helping hand.
Have you noticed that some of the news media hasn't covered this aspect of the big picture? They won't either. Their style is to spread misery and misfortune. Such a shame. The good people of our nation have been the subjects of a negative onslaught by TV and radio ratings seekers. Are you tired of this attitude? I am.
Picture a scenario of dead swamp rats, livestock dead in once green pastures now flooded, alligators dead and alive everywhere. Complete devestation. Still, a sound of hope was heard during this conversation. There was Zydeco music in the background. Local musicians were playing for the workers helping their communities.
Thanks Neal, my friend. Thank you for the phone call and your crew's diligent efforts. God Bless America.
