      This message is for everyone who is reading it: The Lord Jesus came down from heaven, sent by God the Father, to teach us how to live, and to die/pay for our sins on the cross. Then God raised Him from the dead on the third day. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father. Now, God commands everyone who is reading this message to repent (turn away from your sinful ways), and to put their faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. Don’t die in your sins: Repent, and put your faith in Jesus. The Lord Jesus came to save, not to condemn. The Lord is coming soon. (John 3:17)

      These people don't realize this is a God's war. Thank God she was able to be alive, but the republicans don't care about you. People and the maggot people think Trump likes some. He hates maggot people. He hates uneducated people cause when he runs across these kind of people and makes him have to look at himself because he's dumb dumb dumb and he's not educated, he's dumbut you people listen to him. You people put him up as a God. God says do not put a false God before me. These republicans wanting to come back and give you more money. So you're gonna have a female the same republicans that you vote for I won't give you money so your kids can have free lunch at school so sad. Keep going for the republicans. I see how that works for you. The ocean is gonna take back that land this is sure it's day.😊

    Took supplies there last week from Virginia with my wife. We took very few pictures because it became emotional and just felt wrong. The images will never leave me, and I plan on going back this weekend to help again. I wish I had the ability to help in Florida as well because giving back in times like these helps so many people who are mentally devastated.

    It is horrible devisation. There is so little transparency on how many people are really missing or have been recovered and awaiting identification. These people need help and it should not have taken this long for this lousey administration to put the order in to send help. Fight for the people and help each other.

    Good God I am so glad you survived 😢. I can’t imagine how horrifying it was for you. 🤗😘🙏🏻my family lost a home in Elizabethton NC. I am hoping that things can be done to quickly help the victims. We cannot access our home but the guys loaded 3 trucks full of water food and supplies and drove it up there. Then we faced Milton thank God we didn’t get wiped out.
