i had the privilege of going to a faith based partnership meeting today where we learned a lot about how to properly respond to disasters.  for the most part it was very good.  they had a good mix of people that supervise volunteers and do the planning, as well as speakers that were involved as a volunteer after the joplin tornado of last may 22, 2012.  a point that came out over and over was that we needed to make plans and be organized, but at the same time be flexible because the plan will change from day to day while you are in the field.  easy to understand.  but, in the midst of it all i couldn't help but think how wonderful it is that God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  we definitely need His leadership during times of disaster.
