Yes, yes, and yes!

You said it, Katie!

Katie, I loved what you wrote. The words were there in your heart…they just had to come to your keyboard. Thank you for sharing them.

Thank Slappy and his friends for me who are willing to disrupt their lives to go and help the people of Haiti. I will keep them in my prayers. Our Diocese is spearheading a group to go over as well as taking supplies and food. We never know when we will be in the same position and it’s a sign of hope when others reach out to each other in need.

You said it better than anyone ever could. I’ve been ignoring the stupid comments that people have been making, trying to focus instead on the good things that people are doing, but those negative comments are still there and they disgust me.

I don’t have a lot to give, but I would like to give something. I’m going to donate some old clothing I don’t wear anymore, as well as some bottled water.

I encourage everyone to give whatever they can. If something happened to us, we would appreciate the help.

Katie, as the events in Haiti were unfolding, I wroteabout it. I took Robertson to task in the comments. In those comments, an online friend, Virgil, tipped me to an interesting article. I'm no fan of either Pat Robertson, nor painting with a wide brush.

Katie, I agree with every single thing you said/wrote. And you said it beautifully.

Tonight, every single person at the Golden Globes wore ribbons of support and most talked about how important giving money is to help these people.

On Friday night (they said), all three major networks will have a live aid type show to raise money for these people.

Today, leaving church, elders stood at the doors collecting money to send to Haiti and to organizations helping Haitians.

And while I agree with every single thought, word and gesture, I still couldn’t help but wonder who I could contact to get the presenters at next year’s Golden Globes to wear little gold pins that signify pediatric cancer awareness and the importance of needed research/funds to ameliorate–no, eliminate–the various types of pediatric cancers that affect and attack the future generations of our country.

Who knows. I’ve got a year. It could happen.

Again, thanks for your touching, potent and necessary words concerning the current devastation in Haiti. And do let us know if Dr. Slappy goes so that we can cover him in prayer.
