Haiti

I don't think we truly understand.
This is real.
This happened, and is STILL happening.
What if this was us?
Our friends, family, children... piled on the streets. Dead.
It's easy to push it out of our minds, and worry about other things.
What to eat tonight for supper?
What will the kids wear tomorrow?
When will I get around to sweeping?
It means nothing.
What will it take to make us understand?
My heart breaks when I look at this.
Shattered.
And yet I remain unthankful at times.
Lord, forgive me.

I hear you on Haiti. My heart is completely broken. I have to force myself not to think about it.
