The floods of September 2004 had a major impact on the people and resources of the Bethel area. We are trying to learn from that experience, and this survey will help us determine how local landowners feel about certain challenges and possible solutions. We think it's worth it for people to take 10 minutes to help us determine what Bethel might look like for many years to come, and we would appreciate everyone's participation.

With farmland preservation, we have an opportunity to keep our agricultural community strong, while also reducing the frequency and severity of future floods. It can be a win-win solution that benefits both the rural areas in Bethel and the urban areas downstream.

This new grant will help us learn more from the hurricanes of 2004 and make our community stronger.

One night I dreamed a dream.
I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.

When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.

"Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me."

He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.

We are going to make sure that there is high-speed broadband available to everyone, and affordable to people historically kept out of it. It means they have not just access, but can also understand how to buy low-cost, affordable computers.
