Haiti

I've started sentences to begin this blog, erased them, wrote more, erased again.........  Bottom line is I feel quite helpless to know what to do or how to do it so I pray - pray for those I know through familytree lines who are missionaries there, pray for those I hear about through various avenues, pray for those I know are planning to leave and DO something -- pray, pray, pray.  And then I pray for those who are lost and need to be found -both physically and spiritually. 

I'm an information junky of sorts and these are some of the places online I've visited in the past few days.

www.jarodandjennifer.com/blog  I don't know these folks personally.  Connection through a connection through a connection,etc....  Jarod Ebenhack is a missionary working with Kids Alive International in Cap Haitien, Haiti.

http://www.highwaytohaiti.com/  connection through above blog.  Matt & Pam McCormick are involved in discipleship and sustainable development in northern Haiti.

www.mcc.org/stories/podcasts/world-shaken  I listened to this heart wrenching first hand account this morning by Ben & Alexis Depp.

Pictures speak volumes.  http://www.foxnews.com/ daily updates their pictures.  Some are extremely difficult to look at.  They put reality in more perspective then I can handle sometimes but they always drive me to prayer. 

So today as I go through my day of cleaning my home -- that is still standing with a fridge full of more food then I need, where water runs clear and free when I turn the faucet, where the heat is comfortably controlled,  where my petty grumblings about difficulties are silenced as  -- I pray for those who are in such great need.
