... I'm thinking about Haiti.
The Toronto Star article i read said this. "No one knows with precision, no one can confirm a figure. Our organization thinks between 45,000 and 50,000 people have died. We also think there are 3 million people affected throughout the country, either injured or homeless," Victor Jackson, an assistant national coordinator with Haiti's Red Cross said.
Here is a short news report.
Pray for the people in Haiti and pray that the relief efforts can be mobilized quickly and smoothly.
Might i suggest giving as you are able. Here is the link to Compassion Canada

Is this Redwood?
Many of you warned me that Thunder Bay is cold.
It's not just that Thunder Bay is cold, it's that they like to play in the snow.

Work to maintain it
I find innovation inspiring.
I approach pioneering with a sort of fearful sense of engagement and enthusiasm.
this morning i was reminded that there are parts of life that we have to approach and engage that are every bit as important as innovating or pioneering. Every bit as important as inspiring and motivating people to commit their lives to missional living is quite simply the work of maintaining peace.
you can't ignore or leave behind every person who disturbs the peace.
You have to watch your own attitude, measure carefully your responses and work for peace.
1 Peter 3:8-12
Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters.s Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.9 Don't repay evil for evil. Don't retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it.10 For the Scriptures say,
"If you want to enjoy life
and see many happy days,
keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies.
11 Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
12 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right,
and his ears are open to their prayers.
But the Lord turns his face
against those who do evil."s
Peace everyone!
