A couple of cajuns.

Today at church, we kicked off our fall semester with a brand new series entitled "Get Into The Game". It works out really well, because college football season just started. And, if you live around here those Hogs are the happening thing. Even though they lost yesterday to a cupcake team at home. It was a good time. We had two new families join us today. Actually, there were probably a lot more new faces than that; but these two new families that I'm talking about just recently moved to Northwest Arkansas. They are from New Orleans, LA. They've been told that they won't be able to move back to they're home for a year. So, they relocated to NWA and we're blessed that they will call Keypoint Church their home church for the next year. When Casey intoduced them to our church, they received a round of applause and we were happy to give the wives a $100 gift certificate each to the local mall. Last week, our tiny little church of around 200 took up nearly $5000 by passing the bucket. Above and beyond our regular tithe (we don't pass the bucket for our normal tithe). I am truly grateful that these two families have chosen to come to Keypoint; so we can have an opportunity to represent Christ in a real and practical way to them. In other news... but kinda on the same note. The State of Arkansas has made homes for over 100,000 people from the Gulf Coast. That's nearly 3% of the population of Arkansas. Texas has accepted nearly 250,000 refugees. I don't know what percentage of their population that is.
