Haiti

There is only one thing to write about today.

Do what you can to help the people of Haiti. There is no shortage of great organizations to give to. My favorite is UMCOR http://new.gbgm-umc.org/umcor/ but there are so many others.

Politics, religion, economics . . . these discussions can be had another day.

But not today. Because what difference do those things make when family members cannot be found, when the only water available might kill you, and when travel through the streets is made difficult not only by the rubble of collapsed buildings but by the dead bodies of those who were their victims. More than fifty thousand.

So many people want to help, and there is so little that anyone can do.

For me it is even hard to pray to God to give relief and comfort when God is the only one who could have stopped the earthquake.

But God is looking at me and wondering why it took an earthquake before I truly looked at the plight of Haiti . . .

So we are not talking much . . . just sitting quietly.
