I want to thank The Christian Science Board of Directors for going to New Orleans and meeting with Christian Scientists. They shared healing ideas and viewed the damage to the city and other parts of the Gulf Coast area, to get an idea of what still needs to be done.

I'm especially grateful that the April 3 issue ["Courage to go forward"] focused on progress in the area after Hurricane Katrina. The courage of the articles' writers is an inspiration to me and others, as we consider how best to continue praying with the people of that whole region, as everyone moves forward under God's tender guidance.

I very much appreciated the editorial ["The power that reorders disordered lives"] stating that "[it's] the 'hand of God'—the Christ-power that heals and restores order ...." I've had the privilege of taking two trips to New Orleans with Principia College students to provide to Christian Scientists and others helping hands with repairing their houses and property, at three months and six months after Katrina. I've seen much progress in that time, but much is still left to be done.
