My Hero: Bubba on the Great Mississippi floods of 2011

My Hero: Bubba on the Great Mississippi floods of 2011 May 20, 2011

Some of you know Bubba (aka John Michael Pillow) from the first chapter (“Bouncing into Graceland”) of my book Sin Boldly: A Field Guide For Grace. He’s my best good friend of 20+ years and my son’s godfather. John Michael is a farmer in Yazoo City, Mississippi and currently, his farmland is a 12,000-acre lake, under six-inches-to-10-feet of water since the Misssippi flooded the Yazoo River and breached its levees.

This morning, John Michael appeared on National Public Radio to talk about the floods and, beautifully, his abiding faith.

Please take a few minutes to listen. And thank you for remembering Bubbs and all the residents of Yazoo City in your prayers.
