Today my heart is heavy.. As I think and reflect upon what has happened in Haiti, the lives lost, and the massive amounts of suffering, I think like anyone else would I suppose. What I can I do?? Me, by myself can do nothing but pray for these people. I think of how fortunate and blessed I am to live where I live, no earthquakes and in a blessed and prosperous area. I think of how all of us in America have become just plain selfish and hypocritical. Especially church people! Im sick of hearing "The Prosperity Gospel" Where we think we live in America and we deserve this and that. We don't deserve anything. Jesus deserves it all. Im sick of hearing heresy on T.V. and in churches across the nation that Christians are not supposed to suffer. We are called to suffer with Christ. If the apostles (who by the way.. all suffered and died for their faith) heard this crap they would all call us blasphemers! 2 Timothy 3:12 says it all..Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted... But I believe through all this, and what gives me hope for my life, and for the coming Kingdom is that God is sovereign over everything, and absolutely nothing passes through His hand.. And at the end of each day He will save the day, how HE chooses to save the day.. I am not one to question the Almighty and what happens. I just pray and do everything I can to help another human being that is suffering. Do not just look to Haiti. It could be your class mate or your next door neighbor. Find the hurting, and do what Jesus called you to do.. Help them...

Dude I totally agree. This whole Haiti thing is breaking my heart. We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. How can I help these people? I know that I can pray and trust that God is a God who is sovereign, just, and full of love and compassion. But how often, when something like this happens, do we overlook the suffering people who are in our backyard? It's a tough challenge to love and pray for all people. That's for sure.
Way to cut to the chase, Tyler.
