This is very well said and gives words to what looms before me. It takes a great deal of energy to be in the pain of those who hurt - enough to act on their behalf - while not spiraling into despair. Genuine joy and hope is so important in light of so much hurt. Lord grant me the grace to walk that path well. Thank you Barry. This is very well said and gives words to what looms before me.

I pray that as you go to Haiti you will not only reach out to those affected but will also inspire those who've gone to reach out. God bless. Great word of encouragement.

Sounds like 300 orphans are en route to Indy. Well, looks like we won’t have the opportunity to have compassion fatigue for long if what we were told is going to happen.

But I know I have to keep my heart soft all while keeping my attitude impervious to feelings of failure. Otherwise I am doomed to become hollow and depressed by the truths I can't let go of, thanks for the reminder that we're not alone in this struggle and we all have to go through it. Keep it up, I'll be praying that you can get to Haiti soon, and certainly be praying for you when you're there.
