Haiti Earthquake?

[lizbud]

The devastation is terrible, and we will be keeping the people of Haiti in our prayers. I also know that my church - their national relief organization - will have ways to help, but I cannot even get to their website right now.

The damage done is almost unimaginable for most of us in the USA.
It's bad, very bad. My sister's SIL works for their church group and
was trying to contact the church group ministry in Haiti. They wanted
ot send aid, but must first locate the group. Prayers for them all,
especially the childen.

Canada's Governor-General, Michaelle Jean, was born in Haiti. She spoke to Canadians today, and broke down several times.

This reminds me of the tsunami 5 years ago...just horribly indescribable.

Has emerg contact numbers etc.

Absolutely, Phred! I posted a separate thread with some more links and tips on NOT being scammed:

It is hard to believe that there are people sick enough to make money off this...infuriating and sad.

Not trying to sensationalize things about the quake-I can't help but think about THEIR health care system, before and today. Ouru HC system, in the same situation is just as useless.

How lucky we are to have such a vast wealth of resources to be able to help out. No "Brownie" or "the prez don't like black people" comments, please?

Religion?

We have had threads about good and evil, religion and such....

I say, "what kind of god would visit upon such poor people, such pain?"

It's bigger than us all, but just small enough to affect everyone.

According to Pat Robertson, it's all due to Haiti's pact to the Devil.

Personally, I think his age is catching up with him

I heard today that Haiti was one of the poorest Northern Hemisphere countries.

I heard that on the news. They were struggling before the earthquake and that has only made things worse. At my rehearsal at church tonight the music director announced that someone from church was able to reach our missionary in the Dominican Republic. They even felt it on their side of the island, they are fine and trying to figure out what to do to help.

[May he rot in hell for that comment. What a horrible, crazy, evil, evil comment. A man of God, NO NO NO. He is a crazy and anyone who follows him needs to open their eyes WIDE and really listen to what this a=hole just said, what these words really mean.
Innocent people, innocent children, animals are suffering Pat Roberston I could just choke the life out of you myself. How dare you? Freaking monster.

The devil misrepresented hisself in that one!

It was Chris Columbus that started the whole mess.

He deserves to be tarred and feathered - with a sock stuffed in his mouth!

I am confident that he will have to answer to The Boss for his actions and statements.


Anyway, I got an email from my church today, and they had 6 teams on the ground in Haiti before the quake, and we will be taking a special offering to help rescue and recovery efforts.

[moosmom]

Pat Robertson is on crack. HE should go there and help out. Then he'll get a real taste of reality. Jerk!!

I just got word that my friend Father Rick is okay and working on the rescue effort.

Just one slightly off topic comment:

One of the ladies on The View this a.m. made an interesting statement regarding PR. Not her exact words, but close to it ~~~~~ This man knows and talks so much about the Devil - maybe it's he who is the Devil.

[Catty1]

Maybe takes one to know one, huh?

The Canadian government has announced it will match individual Canadian's donations dollar for dollar. Of course, the gov't has their own teams independent of this.
