Haiti/Chile

The girl’s night was a success although, it took forever to get a seated and ended up eating at Outback. The memories we talked about were from High School since it has been so long since all of us have been together. Two of my friends work in the Joplin area hospitals and they discussed some stories and it was quite interesting but sad because a lot of them were older men and women with Alzheimer’s and dementia First off, I want to mention that Forest Park did a garage sale to raise money for Haiti and it was defiantly a success. The Elevate team raised two thousand and seven hundred dollars and it proves that God is good. I still am just in shock of all the aftermath that happened in Haiti and the people whom are suffering with no food, shelter and missing loved ones. I feel appreciate of what I have and the items I can donate to help others in this time of need. I think an American citizen our economy has a great amount of options in hospitals, food industry, jobs and extra resources, which can help families out in times of need. I was flipping through channel and recently heard about the 8.8 earthquake in Chile which is the fifth biggest quake since the 1900s and how it affected the shifting of the continents. The CNN news said that it shifted Chile 3 inches off the scale and shortened the day all quoted from British scientist. This is a rough time in our society where all of us should open our arms and just be thankful for the things we have and not dwell upon past situations or impatient. When I hear about life situations, I think about passages in the Bible and how God will protect all of us and I pray things get better with the people where the earthquakes have hit.
