Hope for Haiti
I am both afraid and hopeful for the news that will come out of Haiti today - hopeful for good news in general and for heroic responses to the inevitable bad news.
There will be many people praying for the lives of loved ones in Haiti over the next days or altruistically praying for those we don’t even know. I encourage everyone to join in those prayers.
My hopes go beyond pulling people from the rubble. Maybe this is the moment that enough attention is cast toward this poor country that something shifts other than the tectonic plates.
My wife’s family is Haitian. I have heard for years how gorgeous the land was when they lived there, before they fled under the first President Duvalier.
I don’t know what it will take. But my hope today is that Haiti receives something out of this earthquake that enables it to pull itself up from the tragedy of this moment and also from its tragic history.
YOU'RE ADDICTED TO YOU
