Bloggers helped change that – Anne Jackson shared about Haiti, and reading the comments left behind by people who were moved moved me.

Sandi’s blog post about Haiti helped nail the following to my heart:

“How can you take a nation of people who have nothing and give them less”

For some reason, apart from all the pictures, that one thought connected deeply. If this had happened in Canada or the States, it would be a lot easier for us to recover. But for Haiti, the disaster is exponentially worse because of the state of their nation.

I don’t think it will ever be too late to help.

Question: What moved you with regards to Haiti?

On Tuesday, “the worst earthquake in 200 years” hit Haiti, “followed by 12 aftershocks“. Here are some shocking pictures. Over dinner, Woody (my house-mate) asked me if I felt it for those in Haiti, which led me to consider this question in a different light.

“Did you feel that?” – Did you feel for the people who went through a calamity the likes of which we only see in the movies? Buildings wiped, 100,000 dead, family members missing, dreams and hopes shattered.

I had to say, no, I did not. Deep down, my heart was not moved. I knew I should be moved (Matt 9:36, Matt 25:40, Col 3:12). I prayed and did other things we’re expected to do. But deep down, no, I didn’t feel it.

To me this shows how self-focused and narcissistic we can be – aka, if it doesn’t directly affect us, we don’t care. However, despite our feelings, we should help – my friend Paulman wrote towards that end.

Question: Does this resonate?
