Haiti

My friend, Jeremy, just returned from Haiti. Great perspective for all of us. Read the whole post here.

"One last thought. If you or I learned that a friend or family member was losing a limb or had passed away, we would be grief- stricken. When I read that the number of dead in Haiti may be near 200,000, the numbers are overwhelming. And in the numbers, you lose sight of the fact that each tragedy is it's own story. As we interviewed patients, we heard stories of loss over and over - children, spouses, parents. Those who are still living are facing life with new disabilities even amputations. In this next generation of Haitians, there will be very few who have not been touched by this tragedy. I hope that we will pray for this next generation and consider what we might do to help them through what will be years of healing."
