I'm a CNN junkie. Even on "non-news days", CNN probably runs on my T.V. for at least 4 hours a day. On days like yesterday and today, CNN is on for 8 hours plus. I can't help it. It is one of my addictions.
Those poor people of Haiti. They were in such bad shape...and that was two days ago, before the earthquake. Today, it seems to just be devastated. You cannot watch without your heart breaking. They need so much help. They need our help. They need my help. They need your help.
If you feel like you cannot do much, so why bother, keep in mind what I heard President Clinton say earlier today. In the aftermath of the Tsunami a couple of years ago, over a billion dollars was donated by Americans. You know what the average donation was? $56.
Donate whatever you can. You can make a donation at many organizations, some of which I have listed below. On most, you can click the link and go straight to a donation page. In addition, you can text "HAITI" to " 90999" and $10 will go directly to the Red Cross. I believe that the $10 donation will show up on your phone bill and no, the phone companies are not taking a cut. How many texts have you sent today? Just do one more and help out. You can also visit The Pioneer Woman's giveaways for a new KitchenAid mixer on her Tasty Kitchen site and register to win. For every person who registers, she is donating 10 cents to Haiti.
And I have fought through my anger and used all my willpower not to say horrible things about that, that, that... MAN, Pat Robertson. What would Jesus do Pat? What would Jesus say? Not what you said today, you mean hateful man! Well, I almost made it! That really was nicer than what I would like to say!

Yes, Pat- what would Jesus do- indeed!
oh, pat....ugh! if this happened to haiti b/c of some pact they made with the devil in 1791, what's going to happen to us in 219 years b/c of the things pat's said? i would love to never have to hear a quote from pat robertson, al sharpton, or jesse jackson again!!
Thanks again!

Your words toward Pat Robertson were mild compared to all the things I said standing in my living room. People do need to speak out against hate. It's the only thing that WILL stop the hate. Keep on......
