A Hope and a Future

Love and Hope for the Future
Some of the most underserved members of the community are those who live as part of the system, the children who wait hopefully to find a place that they can truly call home. These children in foster care need to know that they are not forgotten, that their struggles...

The House of Music
Sitting high above the ground, nearly 20 feet in the air, is a house on the bayou that sings out as a retreat from the busy world not far away. Set on five acres of waterfront land whose expanse of lush green lawn and moss-draped oak trees whisper of a well...
