It’s a shame, really

Posted By Jeff McDonald On In religion & philosophy | 2 Comments

There are not enough fingers out there to count the many, many ways, big and small, that Christians are finding to share the Word of God, and the love of God, with others. It’s a shame, really, that so much time and space — that ANY time and space — will be devoted to this expression of God’s love from televangelist Pat Robertson [1].
Fortunately, there are other stories out there, about all kinds of efforts — both secular and faith-based — that are already on the scene and dealing with the terrible destruction, or rushing to Haiti’s aid …
• First U.S. vessel arrives at Port-au-Prince [2]
• Pennsylvania pastor ‘expecting the worst’ at Haitian site [3]
• Americans flocking to help out in Haiti [4]
• Doctors Without Borders: Supplies and staff scarce [5]
• Haiti earthquake: How to help [6]
Really, this is just a small sample … find some of your own, and share them with others … and urge THEM to spread the word and, maybe, contribute to relief efforts … and help place contributions such as Robertson’s in their proper perspective.

There's a saying around here, something like, "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could!" That's me. I'm a 'dang Yankee from back-east' who settled in the Lone Star State after some extended stays in the eastern U.S., and New Mexico. I worked as an archaeologist for a few years before dusting off my second major in English, and embarking on a 25-year career in journalism. Since then, I've embraced the dark side of the force, and now work in PR for a community college in Midland, Texas.
