You will soon receive a response asking you to type in the word "yes" if you agree to contribute 10.00 to the American Red Cross to help Haiti. The 10.00 will be added to your next months phone bill.
It's a small gesture, but every penny will help. I know all of you have a heart, now show it!
I did mine this morning, and please respond if you do too!

Prayers sent from the Pace family to the families of this tragic event
Duhhh, Mankind can do more than prayer like POfisher has done with a donation and sister Susan in a mission trip. Lets pray that you are given the wisdom to understand that prayer isnt't always enough when you can actually DO something also...Try it sometime Keith. It's self gratifying and gets immediate results when you get active instead of watching the others do it...Quote:

Prayer is indeed a powerful tool. But it is only 1 tool.
We shouldn't let any tragedy divide us.
It is my belief as a christian, I should do all that I can.
I know I can do more, and I will. I urge each of us to do the same, but will not judge.
Peace
I am in no way saying donations dont help but these countries for the most part have very crooked leaders and donations just dont make it to those who need it. Food,money and medicale supplies are stolen by there govermant troups everyday. Thats why these countries cant help there own because they choose not to and only line there own pockets. You would be supprised what prayer will do. Pray that their leaders are shown the light to do what they are in office to do ( if they didnt take the position by force )
The donation number I provided is to the American Red Cross set specifically for the relief of the people of Haiti.Quote:

But I know, or I'm pretty sure, that every donation made to the number I provided... is a National effort. It's headed up by the White House from it's official website. I encourage everyone to spread this information, as the devastated people of Haiti need our help now.
While I do not support, nor particularly like the current administration. I do believe in the Red Cross. The American Red Cross, that is.
Not many people know this, but Haiti was an ally to the newly founded states of America in the early to mid 1700's. Their people helped America in it's attempt to seek independence from England. Just a little history info, for ya.
I will encourage everyone that reads this post, to join me and make that donation. If you can do more, such as pray or volunteer... I think that's great.
Only you and the lord know what it is that's in your heart and within your ability. What you choose to do, is between you and your God.
Prayer's always help... cash helps as well. Volunteering helps more. Any help you can provide, is a good thing.
Peace
lol
Pray for the people... Pray that the people that read this will contribute to the American Red Cross to help...
I can't believe this, what in the world is going on! Rusty posted a request for prayer and it winds up with people attacking each other. Times like this ether brings out the best in people or the worst. I feel like I know most all of you even tho I have not met you in person, I think you are good people, some of the best. please lets come together and do what we can, prayers and donations, and mission trips if we can. most people can't make a misson trip because we have to work to take care of our family, So may I make an appeal to you to please let this stop and lets come together as we have in the past and move on. please dont take it personaly if I deleted your post to try and keep the peace. Thank you, Jimmy S.:)
Thank You Mr Jimmy S . I Could Not Have Said It Better .
Dang Henry, Smitty done gone and got us both deleted this time:eek:...But thats OK

We have been praying for the people of Haiti since the quake and will continue to do so, our hearts also are heavy with the devastation that they have experienced.
"Shep"
I didn't realize how bad it was down there till I looked at some pics on foxnews.com last night. Looks like someone dropped a nuke on that city. I cant imagine going through whats happened down there.
Thank you all, we are living in hard times but we will overcome with Gods help. thank you again, Jimmy S.:)
