A Prayer for Haiti – God is Suffering

How to pray, what to do, and where to look for hope for now and the future… some thoughts from a heart and mind reeling with the effects of catastrophe.

“There are times when events make everything else pale in comparison. I’m in Los Angeles today on my book tour, but the news of Tuesday’s 7.0-magnitude earthquake hitting Haiti is one of those times. Over the past few hours, I haven’t been able to take my eyes off CNN.

Merry Christmas!
