As most of you know Nashville received the biggest flood they had ever seen on May 1, 2010. It really is an undescribable feeling knowing and seeing your town almost completely under water. It's so sad to see places like Opryland Hotel, OpryMills Mall, The Grand Ole Opry House, and Downtown Nashville all completely submerged in water. Several of our FWB churches, including my own church, has been damaged to the rain and floods. Many of our FWB families have had their home completely destroyed or severely damaged. Even though the waters have started to recede the clean up will take months.
There has been huge frustration that the national media outlets like ABC, CBS, and NBC have not given us the attention that we needed or deserved. Thankfully, word is spreading slowly to people outside of Nashville. This video has made its way all through Facebook and gives you a pretty good picture of Nashville and it's spirit right now. (side note: when you see a pile of cars near the beginning of the video...that's a half mile from my church.)The wording in the video was taken from a blog. You can read the entire article here. I do have to say that I'm very proud of my town and the way that everyone has just pitched in and has helped each other. We are Nashville!
