Nashville is underwater. And not in the happy dreamy surreal way that Sosuke’s hometown gets to be in Clare’s fave current movie Ponyo.

I’m scheduled to make a trip to Nashville for the Christian Scholars Conference at Lipscomb University at the end of this month, right after graduation. I’ll be thinking about how to make that coincidence work for us as a way of offering some tangible help.

In the meantime, here’s some immediate ways to act, from a distance:

  1. text “REDCROSS” to 90999 to make a Red Cross donation
  2. go to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and donate to their Flood Relief Fund OR go to Do the Write Thing for Nashville to participate in an online auction for books by local Nashville authors, proceeds donated to The Community Foundation for flood relief
  3. send a check made out to Amos House (specify “flood relief”) to P.O. Box 54, Old Hickory, TN 37138.

Going forward.
