Debriefing

Sometimes I experience what I would say is "delayed reaction." During the week that we were in New Orleans working on Fred's and Fran's house, I was so busy, tired, and in some ways preoccupied with making the blog work, that I really didn't let myself feel. Whereas many in the group experienced sadness while we were there, I must have had my emotional governor working out of awareness that kept the feelings at bay. It was only during the 9:30 a.m. worship service yesterday that these feelings emerged and I began to feel the sadness. I felt them even more acutely in the 11:00 a.m. service. I am feeling them at this moment as I write this blog. I am curious about your responses to the testimonies given at church yesterday and by the daily blogs I made during that time. How did you find them? What do you think about sending another team down there in several months? Do you think that would be a good idea and would you be willing to go?
