The recent earthquake in Haiti leaves one at a complete loss for words. How terrible isn’t it be to be dumped into such despair in one fleeting instant. Still, it is captivating to see how governments, aid organizations, and churches from across the globe opens their hearts and their hands with acts of assistance. Our world is truly flat. We are all interrelated even though we live on separate continents and islands. That’s why we can’t look away when people elsewhere on earth are hurting. That counts from Zimbabwe to Haiti. We should pray together when tragedies of nature strike elsewhere. We should stand up when injustice is victorious in neighboring countries. Each of us should do what we can in the Name of God. We need to pray, talk, protest, give… or report somewhere for duty.
