HURRICANES GUSTAV,IKE, and, HANNA

• Have you ever looked out your window?

• What did you see?

• Could you find hope by just looking out at the beauty?

• What about others?

• What do they see when they look out at the world?

This isn't what I would want to see when I look at my neighborhood. This past hurricane season has left many people devastated by hurricanes Hanna and Ike. Haiti needs help during this time. Lives have been lost, homes destroyed and for a country already in pain this does not help the morale. We in the land of opportunity may help to repair the affects. Goodwill to men isn't dead yet ya know.




One of my favorite musicians is Wyclef Jean. In a later blog I will write more about him but he established an organization called yelehaiti. This site is worth visiting in helping the cause to save Haiti. There is a video on the page that is worth exploring and worth taking time out of your day and thinking. We consider so many things a problem now a days. Sometimes we forget that others in the world would love to have some of the small problems we have today. Just a thought. In the U.S. we've been hit by hurricanes especially in the south. New Orleans is the best example of the effects a hurricane can have on a place. Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and they are still in recovery as I write this. This example is only about that one state, but what about a whole country that has been destroyed by hurricanes? How long do you think it would take to repair it?
