Haiti
What can words express about Haiti? I didn't want to write about the great tragedy there because, really, what can I say? I can't imagine the pain and fear that many there are feeling. And let's be honest here -- I don't want to imagine it. I hope I never have that experience.
An admission from me: For a day or two, I didn't want to donate because I didn't want to be joining some trendy cause. It seemed like tweets and statuses about Haiti were everywhere, and I didn't want to make a donation because peer pressure told me to do it.
And then I realized how silly that was. People are dying. People need help right now.
So I donated through World Vision. There are many other organizations offering relief as well. You can check out some more options over at Suburban Turmoil and Faithful Provisions (read the comments for some great ideas from readers).

Hi. My name is Dante and I live in Brazil. So... I don't know write in English very well. By the way, I found your blog in that "next blog" blogspot's tool. And I have to tell that you are the first person who could express everything what I think about Haiti. More than numbers of deads or hurts, the fact is that we, who are not there, never will feel or just imagine the real pain that these people are doing just now. So, my compliments for your post.
Thank you.
