A very quick thought today:
The need in Haiti is great… very great. There is no doubt that we need to help the Haitians but don’t forget about the rest of the world.
The needs in third world countries didn’t get instantly fixed. There are millions around the world still dying of starvation, thirst and disease.
Please don’t forget them. Haiti may be getting the most air-time and may be at the center of our attention but it’s just one of many places where your help is urgently needed.
Check out places like WorldVision.org and Compassion.com to find out how you can help.

good thought.
Very true. That reminds me of Sarah and her plan to go on a short term missionary trip to Africa.

Agreed. Also, please check out the charity you're giving to. Never assume it's on the up and up unless you KNOW that it is.
