And though it is stated in a religious context appealing to religious motives, religion is really irrelevant to the issue. These values come from our humanity and the way we choose to embrace our humaness in a world with love and hate, abundance and want, blessings and tragedy. As a naturalist in my outlook I join you in your plea. Because we're human.Brad Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18074621527213163688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876740550069534239.post-50354372281458835722010-01-16T18:47:17.081-06:002010-01-16T18:47:17.081-06:00I am glad you mentioned MArtin Luther King as a pr...I am glad you mentioned MArtin Luther King as a prophet. I had always thought of him as one. Too bad racial over tones over shadowed his mission.<br /><br />And now we have Haiti that needs much to over come their crisis. I pray that they can be helped and find comfort.photogrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149737419546300220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876740550069534239.post-731418475543022692010-01-16T14:59:50.772-06:002010-01-16T14:59:50.772-06:00How true!

But we often forget or choose not to see, the desparate need right at our back door.<br /><br />Maybe because it is politically correct to respond to "the need of the hour", the need the media brings to out attention. <br /><br />Maybe it makes us feel good when we can talk among ourselves about what we have done...but the silent needs still go unmet.<br /><br />We must help. This is an extreme crisis - but the unsung heroes might really be the ones who go about quietly giving to those who suffer in silence out of public view.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499600587484994286noreply@blogger.com
