Pray for the victims in Hatti. There is death, pain and suffering on a massive scale and no foreign aid in sight for at least 24 hours. Hundreds of thousands may die over the next week.
....and then there was this stupidly by Pat Roberson in the wake of the tragety... Here it is for those who missed it this morning.
"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the Devil. They said, we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the Devil said, okay it's a deal." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-raushenbush/go-to-hell-pat-robertson_b_422397.html
...I do not care what Pat Robertson said today about God punishing Hatti for making a pact with the devil to overthrow their leaders...Pat is misguided and way out of line for such a comment.
"Hey Pat - Put some of your millions to work in Hatti and please, shut your mouth as you write the check...or better still bsides the check, go over there and minister faith and hope to those who need it most. Leave your camera crew at home here in the USA."
For the rest of us, please find a way to send some assistance, any assistance. You know they will need all they can get...not just now, but for the months to come. Send food, blankets, toys, medicine, anything needed to live.
