Haiti

I had to mute the tv. I couldn't bear to listen to it anymore. Twice now they have had the family of the missing college students and teachers on the Today Show. Twice now one of the parents anger and bitterness has reached out through the tv set and almost smothered me. It is truly overwhelming. As each day passes the chances of them being found alive diminishes. He is angry with our government, saying that it isn't doing enough. I'm overwhelmed by all the wasted energy in his anger. I'm reminded that we all waste so much in anger and bitterness. We strike out in our sorrow.

The devastation in Haiti is truly overwhelming. I watch and can hardly comprehend what I am seeing on the news footage. I choose to focus on the stories of miracles. People rescued days after the devastation. Beating impossible odds. But, anything is possible with God. I focus on the millions of dollars being raised to aid the country as it heals. I pray for miracles where there will be miracles. I pray for support for all of the people on the ground working towards rescue, healing the broken,and providing necessities to the needy.
