Haiti

a friend of mine used to live in Haiti
he often speaks of the kind people there
we should pray throughout our days for them
i caught some of the coverage yesterday on one of the big news channels,
the reporters seemed bent on blaming someone for something
i don't understand this pathos
this need for a story on top of the already devastating occurrence
it is sickening to know this has to do with ratings
with selling product
maybe it's just me,
but i find it almost uncomfortable to watch the reporters sometimes
then again,
i am thankful for what i saw on another channel
the entire half hour show was praying the rosary for the victims and survivors
no commentary except to say at the end how one might help with giving,
giving time, money, supplies, etc..
i pray mercy on those folks and on the ones down there helping
