When you think of New Orleans, what it the first thing you think about? Is it the French Quarter or Bourbon Street?  If you’re a football fan it may be the Superdome and the Saints. Or maybe it’s Creole cooking or Mardi Gras. All of those things are part of New Orleans but to us,Continue reading “New Orleans…What it is to us”

Change. It’s a funny thing. We have prayed and prayed for this time to come.

  “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”   In the last week we have passed by the Statue of Liberty no less than 10 times on our way to andContinue reading “Give me your tired, your poor”
