HAITI - TWO WEEKS LATER


This morning they reported that still another person had been pulled from the rubble of Port-au-Prince --- alive. Late last week I saw a news report of a man who had escaped his home as it collapsed in the initial quake. His wife was still inside. He was convinced she was alive and remained doggedly next to the terrible mass of stone and boards lest a rescue team come by and not start digging for his wife. When she was carried out of the debris, she was singing a song of praise. Even the catastrophe-hardened reporter commented on the overwhelming example of love and dedication by a husband who refused to abandon his post until his wife was rescued.

Last week the Republicans won a crucial election in Massachusetts. This morning Toyota announced a massive recall of some of the most popular cars in America. Terrorists bombs have gone off in Iraq. American Idol is starting into crunch time. Tonight President Obama gives his State of the Union Message. All things that are important matters in the media. I continue to pray that they do not push Haiti out the back door. There is still much to do.
