Seth Barnes just posted the following on his blog:
It was almost two weeks ago that I posted a call to action to help clean up the areas that Hurricane Ike had devastated. This past week, we distributed a press release with

and feet of Jesus to those who are hurting in Galveston.
In a sense, we’re asking
for much more than your money. We’re asking for you.
