It's Ninevah, not Nirvana:
GLAD Moderator Patricia Case Blogs In on Houston Hurricane Relief Work
(HOUSTON) After about a month on the job, GLAD Moderator
Patricia Case offers reflections on her ongoing hurricane relief work in Houston, Texas,
which she lovingly dubs "Ninevah" in her Weblog:
"When I left home, I felt a little like Jonah going to
Ninevah... Oh, God, no. Not Texas! It's not that I'm more obedient than
Jonah. Just more selfish. I mean, I learned a long time ago that running from
God's call is futile. So it's easier to just
take Highway 59 South, with an extra tank of gas in the trunk, than to be puked up by a
whale in Galveston Bay. This way, at least I
get to bring a laptop..."
This is just a piece of the entry from Case’s October 1, 2005
entry in her blog, available at http://prcase.blogspot.com.
Case is working as a volunteer with Houston's Interfaith Ministries.
