As I was so concerned about my lack of sleep and my baby wetting though his diapers, not so far away in the country of Haiti mothers were worried about where their babies were going to sleep, where they would find diapers, where they would find food, drink and shelter for their children.
Once again reality slaps you in the face. I realize my problems are so small. I am so blessed. The people of Haiti need our help.
Yesterday, douchebag extraordinaire Pat Robertson had the audacity to call the devastating earthquake in Haiti a blessing in disguise. He suggested that they were cursed because they made a pact with the devil. I was going to put up a clip of him talking about the Haitian tragedy, but I don't want to give him any air time on my blog.
Here's what it says in the third chapter of the first book of John (a passage that I hope Mr. Robertson reads before he goes to bed tonight):
17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
Here's how you can donate to the earthquake victims:
text the word HAITI to 90999
by doing this you donate $10.00 to the American Red Cross, $10.00 will show up on your next cell phone bill
OR
text YELE to 501501 to donate
by doing this you donate $5.00 to Yele Haiti, Wyclef Jean's Haiti foundation
btw, Wyclef is a former member of the Fugees, a group responsible for one of my all time favorites. A remake of Roberta Flack's Killing Me Softly.
As you text your donation, give this song a listen....ONE TIME, ONE TIME
From our President:
“To the people of Haiti, we say clearly and with conviction, you will not be forsaken. You will not be forgotten,”
“In this, your hour of greatest need, America stands with you. The world stands with you.”
I'm fat...

Love that song and I am still in shock that Pat had the audacity to say that, I read it yesterday...and as a Christ Follower I am completely disgusted and embarrassed by his words.
He is such a douchebag! I saw that clip! What an idiot.
Don't forget, you can also help the Haitians by donating to the American Red Cross at www.redcross.org
BRAVO Sarah!!! Now I'm doing the slow clap for you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Even better, did you hear what Rush said? That Mr. President was giving aid so up his profile with the black community. You know, not because tens of thousands of people died, who knows how many homeless, bodies rotting on the streets, nothing like that. Just wanted to boost his profile. Rush can rot in hell.
