I'm very impressed. Unfortunately, the actual link from his site didn't come across well out here in the desert (we live where you can drive 55 miles to the Colorado border and pass ONE home. And the services we've gotten here have often been in close accord with that). So I assumed, at first, that HE'D written a blog, most of which was hidden for unknown reasons, but that stressed how important providing food, and care for orphans, and dealing with poverty were. And I commented with that assumption. Once I finally found the link, and read your actual blog, I thought I should explain to you how that happened. And invite you to read my comments on his site, rather than repeat them here. In a nutshell, I quoted several little-known Scriptures that heavily stress how important it is to help the people like those in Haiti - the poor, orphans, widows, and others. Also, if it would help you, a detailed study of what God actually teaches about helping such groups is temporarily posted on our family website, for free use (the URL at the top of this form). You may find parts of that helpful in your own ministry. You're welcome to look at it. God bless your ministry. Saw this exceptionally well done blog through a link from David Kuo’s blog.

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 03:06:43 +0000 http://www.flowerdust.net/?p=923#comment-195212 I'm reading everyone's comments and can understand the grief and compassion we all feel for these children. But am I also reading into the comments guilt that we are so blessed to live in the USA? My family would be classified upper middle class with the nice house, cars, gadgets but we do give as much as we can to our church and outside orgs such as CI. I'm not God and I realize that. I can only do so much - that's where my faith, prayers and obedience come into play but I still can't fix the world. I know that our govt isn't PERFECT but we do have a govt that functions the way our constitution intended us to function. I won't even get into the 2 political parties and the bickering that goes on between the two parties. But even with the finger pointing between the parties the US is still without the type of corruption that cripples these other countries. We don't suck. Most every country that has starving people has a govt that is corrupt and practices some form of communism, socialism and /or other ism. We should be careful about feeling guilty because of the prosperity of the US. It is because the US is so prosperous that we as individuals can make a difference in the lives of people who live in the type of poverty that Haiti is experiencing. Everyday we should look at pictures of these children so we don't forget but I won't be guilty for my blessings and accomplishments.

Here in Mozambique, 40% of kids suffer stunted growth due to malnutrition. How can we just blindly let it keep happening when there is something we can do about it, at least for one child?
