What is more horrible?

The horror is expecting someone to show up and no one does- or having that someone show up late?


A bigger tragedy is if we never show up....

Let’s pretend.

Let’s get a truck driver.
Let’s get a train engineer and a pilot

Ask them how much food and water they can carry in their vehicles.

Let’s find a place they can pick it up.

Now let’s get them to drive where they need to go to deliver those emergency supplies.

As the truck driver approaches the site he is not guaranteed gas because there is no electricity to run a gas pump, and if he does find gas, the roads and freeways are down or blocked.


That’s OK!! The train can deliver stuff!

But there is no electricity to run the signals!!!

If the rails have been washed away you can’t make a detour!!!

That’s OK the plane can deliver food!!!

But there is no electricity to run the lights, radar or radios…

Let’s just parachute the stuff in….if it falls into the water or falls on a person….OOPS!


One airplane is gonna feed a one thousand people, a truck, 500 and a train????

That will do for one day….what happens tomorrow?

Blankets, medicine, beds, clothes….

How much food do you leave behind to get that stuff on board?


Tell a diabetic we didn’t have room for insulin.
Tell a mom who’s newborn can’t breastfeed but needs a special formula
We didn’t have room for that because of the insulin for the diabetic.
Forget them….
Let’s make room for a stretcher for the 12 year old kid with a fractured skull.
NO Let’s get the 89 year old woman some water and for get everyone else.


Let’s tell the other 15,000 people at the side of the plane, truck and train that we don’t have any more for them!!!

They will understand.


No, we aren’t fast enough.

But WE ARE ENOUGH…


You cannot let the people that have died so far be forgotten.
We will remember them and what happened the next time we get knocked down.

This is not a movie where Tom or Arnold or Indiana Jones leads the group in that saves the day.

It’s real life.

Don’t be so quick to toss a jab at the whole system. When we can decide who lives and who dies, in a situation like that, we will be gods.


Until then we just have to live and learn together.
