    help in praying for Haiti

    2010 - 01.21

    via Godspace by Christine Sine on 1/19/10

    Once again Haiti is uppermost in our thoughts and prayers. Around the world people continue to respond pouring out resources, prayers and love to this suffering nation.   World Concern one of our local relief and development agencies that is involved in Haiti is running a fundraiser on PRAISE 106.5 radio today.

    Sometimes we do not have the words within ourselves to know how to lift needs like this to God.  If you are still not sure how to pray watch  this poignant and sobering video produced by Work of the People to help focus our prayers.

    Or you might like to recite these prayers I wrote this morning as I was praying for Haiti.  They helped me to focus my prayers and move closer to God.  I find that the words keep revolving in my mind as I listen to the news and watch the images still flowing out of Haiti

    Merciful God

    Compassionate Christ

    Transforming Spirit

    Have mercy on all those who suffer

    Protect the weak and the vulnerable

    Provide for the homeless and the destitute

    Comfort the grieving and the dying

    Have mercy on all who are helping

    God who loves

    Christ who cares

    Spirit who comforts

    Grant peace to the people of Haiti.

    —————————————————————-

    God grieve with us

    Christ grieve in us

    Spirit grieve through us

    Embrace and comfort all who suffer

    God care with us

    Christ care in us

    Spirit care through us

    Heal and renew through our hearts and hands

    God love with us

    Christ love in us

    Spirit love through us

    Transform death into eternal life

    Help Cancel Hatian Debt

    2010 - 01.21
    Dear ONE Member,

    In the last few days, I have learned that most of my family members in Haiti, though homeless, are alive. Even as we grieve for those we lost, we are thankful for the safety of other loved ones, and for the incredible outpouring of concern and assistance coming from all over the world.

    Since this disaster occurred last Tuesday, I have wanted nothing more than to go to Haiti to help, hold and comfort my family and other survivors. Knowing I can’t do that now, I am putting all my energies into helping Haiti rebuild its country without the burden of debt. Together, we can convince global creditors to cancel Haiti’s $1 billion international debt.

    Please click here to sign ONE’s petition calling for cancellation of Haiti’s debts:

    http://www.one.org/us/actnow/drophaitiandebt/o.pl?id=1405-3697601-_sQk5Hx&t=2

    As Haiti rebuilds from this disaster, please work to secure the immediate cancellation of Haiti’s $1 billion debt and ensure that any emergency earthquake assistance is provided in the form of grants, not debt-incurring loans.

    Haiti needs a sustained international effort as it seeks to recover from this earthquake. Beyond the current emergency response, we’ll need to ensure that money saved from debt relief is invested in long-term development, and that assistance to Haiti isn’t given in the form of new loans that would exacerbate the debt problem.

    But here and now, there is a very clear goal: let’s get rid of this crippling debt.

    Thank you,

    Keren Dongo

    The Dilemma

    2010 - 01.20

    The Dilemma

    By Ann Landers

    To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.

    To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

    To reach out to another is to risk involvement.

    To expose feelings is to risk rejection.

    To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule.

    To love is to risk not being loved in return.

    To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure.

    But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

    The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.

    He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel,

    Change, grow or love. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave.

    Only a person who takes risks is free.
