I am not even sure what to say about this. I know that as I watched this video clip my heart was broken. Why does our media not cover this? I have heard Haiti was hard hit by the hurricanes, but this video reminds me that these are people. Everyone who has been killed or injured is someones son, daughter, mother, father, sister or brother. God promises us to walk with us even when things are hard, or tragic. Do these people know that God is crying with them, wanting to hold them, comfort them and give them the peace of eternal life? I don't know. Here is the link. It is for mature audiences, but it is also reality. Are we mature enough for the reality of what is going on around the world? Seek what God would have you do after watching this. Donate to a reputable organization that is meeting needs and preaching Jesus in Haiti. Pray for Haiti. Go online and get informed about the realities people are facing in the world. Get involved and do something. As for me, I am going to start with praying for Haiti(and actually doing it!), and see how else God might lead me to get involved.

About Me
- Staci
- I am just a girl who loves Jesus, wants to know Him more and follow Him wherever He may lead. I am also blessed with a wonderful family: a husband, whom I adore, and five beautiful kids(so far!). I plan to use this blog as a place to journal about the things most important in my life: my relationship with God, my family, adoption, gardening, reading and whatever else comes to mind.
"Religion that God the Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress..."

What You Should Know About HIV and AIDS
-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles).- HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives.- People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do.Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources
