    What a tragedy! Some of the pictures that are getting thru are just too horrible to imagine.

    The pups vet's father lives in the Dominican Republic - or at least he did a couple of years ago. She was telling me once how she and her sister were going there on vacation to visit. I know he's not native to that area, and don't know if he even still lives there.

    I'm just praying for her, and that her father is safe.

    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.

    This makes me sick to my stomach. How terrible...And to make it worse the Today show was showing some victims that were killed on the news this morning. I will be praying and sending good thoughts to those affected for as long as it takes. It sounds like the US is ready to go offering alot of help. I wish I could go down there and do something, too.

    I watched until I couldn't.

    The photos we see are a small part of the whole picture.

    Incredible.

    Believe it or not, little Canal Fulton had an earthquake about 17 years ago. It was the oddest thing I've ever felt and I didn't even know what it was. Obviously, there was no damage but everyone went outside and we were all looking up at the roofs of our buildings b/c it felt like someone was stomping on the roof. It scared me to death. I can't even imagine being in such a devastating earthquake as the one in Haiti. I've purposely avoided the footage. I just can't watch it. They're going to need prayers for a long time to come and plenty of aid.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    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.
