Derek off to Canada for a few days

I will be heading for Canada (Ottawa, Ontario) at the weekend to speak at a Family Conference for the St. Lawrence Presbytery of the reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, encompassing several Canadian congregations as well as several in upper New York. Naturally, my thoughts are with the dear folk at First Presbyterian Church, Jackson and I will be praying for you as I head for cooler temperatures. This will be an important weekend as we come to terms with God's providence in the lives of so many of us: lost property, physical hardship, and emotional stress. But our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters in southern Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. We need to pray and then ask the Lord: what would you have me to do now in response to this?
