"come Lord Jesus"

"Earthquakes, war and rumours of war"

Signs of the end of time, yet catastrophes that have befallen mankind since the beginning.
Unbelievable grief in Haiti, unbelievable pain in Africa. I've been researching the refugee camps in Kampala, Uganda and the unbearable situation that the refugees live in, for a presentation that our church refugee sponsorship committee is preparing. I've been trying to keep tabs on what is going on with a christian school in Haiti that our church supports.

What can we do as we are moved by compassion? What can we do but pray....
and my heart is warmed by the memory of my little girl who went up to her room to pray, for Neema and Liliane and for the people in Haiti.

Make us all an instrument oh Lord.
Give us love that shows compassion and becomes action.
