is beyond comprehension. All of us suffer our own personal setbacks and tragedy's. They may be nothing compared to those who suffer from the worldwide disasters that afflict mankind.

To the people of Haiti, I send my love and hope for your safety and ability to recover from the horrible fate that has fallen upon you.

To those of you who believe there is a reason for this, please do not be offended. As a personal belief, I cannot fathom that any almighty God would punish his people with a fate like this earthquake and the other events that have happened worldwide.

I respect anyone's faith, you are all free to choose what you believe but I am of the mind that there cannot be a grand scheme of things, orchestrated by some benevolent God. We are subject to the fate of the world as it evolves. We, in my opinion, have little reason to believe anything like this earthquake is part of any Gods plan.

Pray if you think it will help, donate if you can. I do trust that all countries of the world will send whatever aid they can and that we, as a nation, will do our part. I hope we assist these poor people with grace and care, working with all nations of the world to save these people from greater harm.
