Maury Lewis: I am blessed So many people here just want to help By Maury E Lewis I was in a small business today, representing the Garden Club, picking up things that Joe Hare said the people in Laurel County, KY needed and the people were so helpful with everything. I want to say thanks to all who helped me and I know you will be blessed for your giving. I also want to say thanks to the man who walked up to me and handed me a twenty dollar bill and told me it was for gas for my car. He overheard me talking to the manager of the store about what I was doing and he wanted to put gas in my car, so I ask the Lord to bless him in his giving. I am so glad I moved here from LA (lower Alabama). I am truly learning how blessed I am. - Melewi 2012-03-09 17:27:26 | Comments | Printable version

Also like all areas hit by the storms, they need plastic tubs with lids and bleach and rubber gloves.

The supplies can be taken to the church. (A spokesperson at the church said that prayers for the hard hit town are especially appreciated.) -Joe Hare 2012-03-09 12:52:26 | Comments | Printable version
