Stopping for 35 seconds...
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - 10:59 AM
A week following the aftermath of the earthquake that has angished Haiti; I ask you to stop and reflect for just 35 seconds.  Reports indicate the earthquake lasted this long; and in this timeframe, lives were changed forever.  Places once called home; the supermarket where one did their daily shopping; the place that served as one's place of employment- all but relics amidst the rubble amidst an already impoverished land.  In 35 seconds, families were gutted, torn apart; and transformed.

To hear of the relief efforts taking longer than usual- it aches my soul. 

There are glimmers of hope; as search teams are still finding survivors.  I pray peace for the Haitian people during this dark cloud.

Pause, and take just 35 seconds to reflect on the lives of those who are lost to this natural disaster; take 35 seconds to reflect on the blessings many of us have in the states; take 35 seconds to pay homage to those who are laboring tirelessly to bring comfort to a grief stricken nation...

35 seconds; such a short time can impact our lives...
