The devastation is vast and unbelievable.  Michael W. Smith's hometown of Franklin, TN (and the entire Nashville, TN metro area) is currently dealing with the largest flood and the associated devastation of a lifetime. 

There are thousands and thousands of people that have been displaced, living in shelters, not able to return to their homes yet to see what is left.  Historic places like the Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Hall of Fame, Schermerhorn Symphony Center, and Opryland Hotel are all underwater, jobs lost at least for a long time.

We request that if you are able to help your neighbors in two ways:

- Donate:  Your Time and Volunteer:  Samaritan's Purse
- Donate:  Financial Donations:  Nashville Red Cross
- Prayer:  Nothing is more powerful or more needed, pray for the volunteers, the victims.

The devastation here in the Middle Tennessee area is not something that will be cleaned up in a week or even a month, maybe even a year.  Any help you can provide is appreciated!
