Secretary Rice Says…
Got any guesses who she’s talking about?
towns and villages across Africa, … are digging wells and building dams and strengthening communities in the fight against AIDS. When a nightmare of wind and water devastated Southeast Asia, … were among the first on the scene in Banda Aceh helping to feed the hungry, to shelter the homeless and to care for the sick and the wounded. And of course here in our own country, few have done more than … to help ease the suffering of our fellow citizens who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. No man, no woman, no child is beyond the reach of your compassion. Whenever tragedy brings people to their knees, … have been there to help them get back on their feet.
I hadn’t quite thought of this group in such a manner, but should have.

Not a bad campaign speech.

I hadn’t thought of it as such, had just thought of it as a good speech, but your point’s well taken.

After 9/11, the Baptists had a portable kitchen set up a few hundred yards from the burning rubble inside of 24 hours. I don’t know how they did it, but they did.
After Katrina, the Baptists had feeding operations set up in places that the government and the Red Cross said nobody could get to.
I have a *lot* of theological differences with the Southern Baptist Convention… don’t even get me started.
But when I write checks for disaster relief these days, guess where they go?
