I'm waiting for a call so I can leave for the airport. To take my mind off that, I am wondering what Haitian President Preval and his cronies have been doing since the quake. Perhaps many are dead. Those who are living seem to have dropped off the face of the earth. The cry of the Haitian people is "Don't give aid to our government! Give it to us." I could not more strongly agree.
Many wonderful Haitian men have risen who defended, rescued and worked to save their people in this horror. They risked their own lives for others time and time again. They, in turn, were elected to lead and speak on behalf of various "tent communities." Our beloved Dieudonner is one of these men. I know he has no political aspirations, which is why he is who he is...a man of few words, great courage, and action. Bryan will come home with stories of many more just like him.
Here's my hope and prayer:
That these men will replace the corrupt politicians who have now been buried with the faceless poor. May God raise up benevolent leaders to shepherd His people!

ReplyDeletePsalm 72
ReplyDeleteA psalm of Solomon.
1 Give your love of justice to the king, O God,
and righteousness to the king’s son.
2 Help him judge your people in the right way;
let the poor always be treated fairly.
3 May the mountains yield prosperity for all,
and may the hills be fruitful.
4 Help him to defend the poor,
to rescue the children of the needy,
and to crush their oppressors.
5 May they fear you as long as the sun shines,
as long as the moon remains in the sky.
Yes, forever!
6 May the king’s rule be refreshing like spring rain on freshly cut grass,
like the showers that water the earth.
7 May all the godly flourish during his reign.
May there be abundant prosperity until the moon is no more
YES!!!
