My book Chainsaws & Casseroles derived its name from this: When a disaster happens, before you can crawl out of the rubble, there is a church van in your front yard full of people with chainsaws and casseroles. They’ll cut the trees off your house and then feed you.
This morning, the city of Hattiesburg is waking up with yet another disaster to respond to. The vans are probably already pulling up in the yards.
People say a lot things about my home state, but we’re very good at this. And today will be no different.
My prayers go out to my friends in Hattiesburg. Let us know what you need.
