I'm sure you are all aware of the devastation from the tornadoes in AL and elsewhere. But perhaps you are not aware of how you can physically help (prayers are always appreciated)! Here is a site for donations to be given. And here is more info about their stories. Please consider their plight--how you would feel in such a situation--and how we as brethren should be helping!
I'm also hoping that this cause will be funded before the deadline runs out in 6 days! It is for WWII veterans. We never know if this will be used for their salvation, or how it will edify others.
And lastly, here are some good quotes from Spurgeon (you can find them in the book Humility and How to Get It)....

Dear Melissa, thank you *so very much* for posting these links. I have been trying to find a way to get funds directly to the Lee family specifically. I have just made a donation, and intend to make another one in a couple of weeks (when I am next paid).
I have also placed a link at the top of my sidebar to the Bradrick site so others can find it.
Some of the men in our congregation gathered supplies on Thursday and drove to Alabama to try to assist. They came back last night and said that since there is nowhere to really put supplies it is best to donate funds so that medical bills can be paid, clothing can be acquired and structures can be rebuilt.
I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you!Not only does Esurance offer a broad range of potential discounts on both home and auto insurance, the company also has a user-friendly app that makes it a breeze to submit a claim. If you prefer a digital experience that’s fast and pain-free, Esurance homeowners insurance could be an ideal option for you.
Esurance promises multiple types of discounts for homeowners insurance, including a $50 decrease if you perform a DIY inspection using their app. It also claims major savings if you bundle your Esurance home insurance with an auto package.
Sort of. You can get an automatic $50 discount using the DIY Home Inspection app, although the price reduction only applies to your first term. Esurance also breaks down the potential for savings into two categories: home safety features and policy-based discounts.
Working systems like burglar alarms and smoke alarms can potentially save money, as can storm shutters, a hail-resistant roof and going a year without making a claim.
You can also qualify for policy discounts if your home is new construction or if you opt into auto-pay on your plan. Some of Esurance’s advertised discounts use vague language implying that they’re not guaranteed and some even seem conflicting. For example, there’s a “Welcome Home” discount potentially applied to the first two years of your policy, but also a “Loyal Customer” discount that might be applied when you renew.
Just how much all of these potential discounts end up saving you in reality can only be seen when you compare Esurance to other offers.
Additional Living Expenses Coverage: This feature covers the cost of your accommodations in case your home is temporarily unlivable due to a covered incident.
Other Structures Protection: Include anything that’s not attached to your home, like a free-standing garage or shed, in your standard policy.
Water Back-up Coverage: This doesn’t include flood insurance, but it does cover your home for damage caused by burst pipes or overflowing drains.
Medical Coverages: Esurance homeowners insurance comes with guest medical coverage up to $5,000 in case someone gets hurt on your property.
Family Liability Protection: Also included is default personal liability protection up to $100,000 or you can add more. The money can help pay for your legal defense if someone sues you after getting hurt on your property or if you damage someone else’s property.
Fire Department Charges Coverage: If you ever need help from your local fire department and are charged a fee, it’ll be covered by your policy.
Esurance Mobile App: You can file a claim anytime of day or night through the convenience of the Esurance app.
Home Insurance Calculator: Before you get a quote on your Esurance home insurance, figure out how much coverage you really need.
Add-on Policies: Get additional coverage with a la carte options such as identity theft expense coverage, fair rental income protection and building codes coverage.
All insurance carriers create a customized policy package for each individual applicant. Your quote is based on a variety of factors, including the details of your home, your own credit history and where you live.
In addition to basic coverage, you may also opt to add on extra policies that increase the cost. Flood and earthquake coverage, for instance, can protect you if you live in an area prone to these issues. Alternatively, if you have a large amount of outbuildings on your property or rent some or all of your space, extra coverage is also ideal.
If there’s one thing Esurance is known for, it’s the amount of available discounts. The only catch is that there is no guarantee that you’ll qualify for each one. According to customer reviews, however, Esurance quotes are among the lowest out there, so clearly the variety of ways to save can really work out to your advantage.
Compare offers closely. Different companies have different criteria and coverage. Shop around to find the one that’s not just cheap, but gives you the right amount of coverage for your home and circumstances.
Maximize your discounts.Check out Esurance’s discounts carefully to make sure you’re benefiting from them as much as possible. Simple measures like installing smoke detectors or a burglar alarm can keep you safe and save you money.
Farmers: Although Farmers is known for a strong customer experience, this carrier only earned average ratings across all categories in the J.D. Power 2019 U.S. Home Insurance Study. Esurance isn’t ranked in the survey, but its parent company, Allstate, also maintained average rankings. Thanks to the Esurance app, it would be interesting to see how this tech-friendly arm matched up against its competitors.
USAA: USAA ranks above average across all categories, including price and policy offerings. The company offers hyper-specific plans designed for a number of property types, including condos, mobile homes, valuable personal property and farms and ranches.
Nationwide: Despite having a large presence, Nationwide ranks among the lowest home insurance companies in the J.D. Power survey. Its lowest-ranking categories include price, billing process and interaction.
Erie Insurance: This is another stand-out insurance company, scoring among the highest in the J. D. Power survey. They also have a great online presence, from helpful blog posts to real-life stories of extraordinary circumstances faced by their customers.
Yahoo! Finance reported in September 2019 that in preparation for disaster season, Esurance is a leader in making the claims process as easy as possible for policy holders. “Esurance is making auto and home insurance surprisingly painless, and that includes ensuring consumers have the information and the coverage they need to be properly protected,” said Yahoo! Finance. Helpful tools include offering photo claims, a coverage counselor and an easy mobile app.
Despite some vague language surrounding how easily you’ll qualify for each available discount, most Esurance users report an easy application process and low rates. It’s definitely worth checking out to see how much you can save on your homeowners insurance.

Should my father’s financial situation become my financial burden?Some of you may have already heard from your children about today’s lock down drill. It was the first one of the school year, and I want to let you know that all students did a wonderful job with the procedure. They quietly went to our meeting spot and sat patiently with minimal whispering at times. I feel confident that if we were to have an emergency situation that required us to be in a lock down that my students would follow protocol and keep themselves calm, quiet, and safe throughout.

... I. Gawain Douglas, William Dunbar and Blind Harry, as well as with A Select Collection of Favourite Scottish Ballads, compounded from Hailes, Herd, Percy and Pinkerton and published in 1790 with not a single new ballad added.Titled Death Of A President, the drama uses the style of a real-life documentary and a blend of computer generated special effects, as well as archive-type footage to show Bush's "assassination" by a sniper as he arrives for an anti-war rally in Chicago, Illinois in 2007. The investigation that follows, points to a Syrian-born suspect as the assassin.
The show will be premiered at the Toronto Film Festival to be held later this month and later will be broadcast on the UK digital channel More4 in October this year. More4 boss Peter Dale said that the drama was a "pointed political examination of what the war on terror is doing to the American body politic. I'm sure there will be people upset by it. I hope people will see the intention as a good
