It seems appropriate to post a session from one of the famous landmarks in Nashville: the Parthenon. Most of you all have heard about the devastating flood that has ruined so many homes, businesses and lives here in the Nashville area. It has been a sobering week watching the waters rise and knowing that so many are without homes and will not have insurance to cover the cost to repair. Our home is fine but we have many neighbors that received damage to their homes. About a mile from our home the streets looked like rivers and streams were literally roaring through like rapids. We are so thankful that our home is fine but are also so saddened by the loss of so many. If you want to help in any way, there are several families here that could use some aid. Please send me an email and I will get you the information. So, bringing it back to Nashville- I really just L-O-V-E this city! Even in the midst of destruction, there is just something beautiful about this town. It is growing so much but there is still such a warmness about it that I have found anywhere else. People move here from all over so I think most know what it is like to be new. And, everyone just becomes like family. In disaster you see it even more clearly and it is breathtaking. This sweet family that I photographed is one example of what Nashville represents. Joe is from New York and Betsy grew up in North Carolina. They met at our church and joined staff with Campus Crusade at Vanderbilt. Their service to college students throughout the years has given a feeling of belonging to kids leaving home for the first time. I know because I was there once. And, Crusade did that for me as well. So, thanks Joe & Betsy for your ability to make Nashville feel like home to so many. And, I am glad that you are apart of our larger family here in Nashville!
