Day 804: Packer Pilgrimage

No, not mine to Lambeau Field; I’ll have to forego a visit this year, the first time in eight.  *sulk*

Scout Prime sent me a video of members of the Door County Gulf Coast Relief fund on their way to do reconstruction work in Kiln, MS, home of the greatest quarterback in the world (and imaginary boyfriend), Brett Favre.  “Sister Bay resident Pete D“Amico and others [lead] local volunteers to Hancock County, Miss., to spend a week nearly every month rebuilding hurricane-ravaged homes.”

These are D’s and my people coming down here to help our new home.  More power to the Packer nation! 

I remarked to Scout that these volunteers ought not to be alarmed when they enter the Broke Spoke and see “Keep Mississippi White” stickers and portraits of ancestors by their klan robes, but then remembered all of that was blown away by Hurricane Katrina along with the bar.  God must hate bigots, too.  Before you consider that statement heartless in the face of horrific destruction, it was merely a sarcastic one pointing out the hypocrisy of those who think Katrina was God’s punishment for the Sodom & Gomorrah that is New Orleans.  Another thing it states is this is America, we’re all in it together and the volunteers who continue to give their time here two years after the events of August 2005 embody the best in human nature.  They are whom I thank, consider truly Christian and try to emulate.

Go Pack Go!

    Nothing about Wisconsin beating Michigan? Where is the hate?
