Haiti

[ktheodos]

I'm sure everyone has heard the news about Haiti by now, and although the last thing I want to do is bring more gloomy news, I thought it was important to start a thread on such a recent topic.  I know it's got me thinking about a lot of things-I'm praying for the country as well as thankful for so many things, especially the people who have responded so quickly and so bravely.  I also find it interesting that disasters can be so ironic and eye-opening. They always seem to hit the countries that are the most vulnerable (i.e.: New Orleans)-almost as a way of getting to people to respond who normally wouldn't respond before.  It's interesting how it always take a disaster for people to take notice of things.  It also makes me wonder how much better this world could be if people were as generous during times when disasters AREN'T happening as they are when the world seems to be falling apart.
