One year ago today Haiti was faced with one of the most impacting quakes known in earth. Thousands Haitians perished as the earthquake tumbled and rumbled cities and townships to rubble. In addition, those who lived to tell will never forget the day of the when the earth shook leaving many stories of death and tragedy as well as survival and will. Today a memorial serviced is planned to remember and give memoriable thoughts of those lost and those still surviving. The scheduled service will be at 4:58p.m. the the time of the earthquake one year ago.

In term of the restoring of Haiti there is still much to be accomplished as reports indicated on %5 percent of the rubble has been removed. Haitians are still on a long road to recovery and each day is pictured as a day of survivial in many areas. Aid that poured in from many charities may have been mishandled and many Haitians are living in poverty and in addition the recent disease of cholera outbreaks. Relief efforts continue to help the country of Haiti.

Let us not forget them in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

I am really saddened to hear that only 5% of the rumble has been removed. I just don't get it! I understand that the people are really suffering there and Canada is making it easier for Haitians refugees to immigrate to Canada especially since their last Governor General was Haitian born, Michaelle Jean. She's a dynamic human being. See blog below...

Memorable 5-Year Term for Canada's Governor General, Michaelle Jean Ends ...
[Governor General Jean will be noted for many things during her term, but many will remember how she managed a high-profile assist in the Harper government's fundraising efforts for Haiti, her homeland without any thought given to being accused of bias by her fellow Canadians.] http://blackinamerica.com/cgi-bin/blog.cgi...

EARTHQUAKE 2010

A 7.0 magntitude earthquake struck Haiti tumbling buildings like pebbles. Latest news indicated that people suffered great loss of life. The enormous quake was the most devastating one in over 200 years sources state buildings collasped on top of bodies covering them in concrete graves. Haiti is known as a nation of poor. This earthquake may lead Haiti to become a desolate country with its already hard survival day to day of citizens of poverty. Relief efforts from the U.S. are being sent along with those from other countries. The Haitian town of Port Au Prince is highly known as a tourist attraction was also trambled by the quake --which also took the life of it's Arch Bishop.

Thanks for this. I don't know if Haiti will be able to survive this. What do you think?

It's been so hard. Yet, I think in term of spirituality and God all things are possible. I have to wonder, but I know somewhere God is always in the plan of good and bad. There is always a purpose and reason to bring glory to God. I've pattern myself into this thinking, it's hard for me to think elsewise.

We you and I let's keep praying shall we?
