New Orleans diary

St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church

~My friends and I worked on two houses. In the first, our task was to tear out all the walls and ceilings and prepare the house for an extensive renovation.
The African-American family who owned the house had held this home for three generations, and the fact that most folks in our part of the world would have regarded this property as a “tear-down” couldn’t have been farther from their minds — or hearts.
Whether or not it made sense to us,
that was where they were going to stay,
and that house was what they were going to rebuild.
