Haiti Earthquake. Aide et prieres pour les enfants de Dieu. The January 12th, 2010. Haiti was struck by a magnitude-7.0 earthquake, the country's most severe earthquake in over 200 years. The epicenter of the quake was just outside the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince. Widespread damage resulted from the quake. The capital city was devastated. The Presidential Palace was badly damaged, with the second floor entirely collapsing onto the first floor; the Haitian Parliament building, UN mission headquarters and the National Cathedral were also destroyed. International aid flowed in but was hampered by damaged infrastructure: the main port was damaged beyond immediate use, the one local airport was of limited capacity and border crossings with the Dominincan Republic were distant and crowded. As many as one million Haitians were left homeless. The death toll from Haiti's devastating earthquake has risen to at least 230-thousand people as of mid-February. The number of dead in Haiti does not represent the bodies buried by private funeral homes and cemeteries, or bodies buried by family members. The Haitian government says an additional 300-thousand were injured. Haiti declared Friday February 12th, 2010 a day of mourning to mark one month since a massive earthquake devastated much of the capital Port-au-Prince and surrounding area. Four weeks after the quake, an estimated one million people remain displaced with the government acknowledging that it has no clear idea how to resettle them before the rainy season starts around April. "What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of..". “My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been affected by this earthquake. We are closely monitoring the situation and we stand ready to assist the people of Haiti. May God bless the people of Haiti and those here in America and around the world working on their behalf.”-The 44th President of The United States of America, Barack Obama 1/12/2010 On January 19th, 2010 President Barack Obama tapped former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to lead private sector fund-raising efforts.

Bush 1/20/2010 Following a heart procedure and exactly a month after the earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people and left some 1.2 million homeless, President Clinton said there had been "a generous outpouring of support from donors all over the world." "In my capacity as UN Special Envoy for Haiti, I will continue to work with the Haitian government and people, international donors and multilateral organizations," Clinton said in a statement. He said the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and his own Clinton Foundation Haiti Relief Fund had secured "impressive" donations. "So far, we've allocated seven million dollars to organizations providing medical care, food, water, shelter, and education," he said, "and we will continue to provide assistance in the months and years to come." 2/12/2010 Please pray for Haiti and help in any way you can by calling 1-800 RedCross or Texting HAITI to 90999. http://newsroom.redcross.org/2010/01/12/disaster-alert-earthquake-in-haiti/ All taxpayers who make a monetary donation for Haiti relief before March 1st will be able to deduct the donation on their 2009 tax returns.

Features the song 'Put a Little Love in Your Heart' by Jackie DeShannon, Jimmy Holiday, Randy Myers Included are edited versions of the song as performed by Jackie DeShannon, The Isley Brothers, David Ruffin and Dr John. I think the lyrics get to the heart of what we all should be focused on always. if you listen carefully the words are a short hand version of the teachings of Jesus. Consider them. We're all in this together. "Think of your fellow man Lend him a helping hand Put a little love in your heart You see it's getting late, so please don't hesitate Put a little love in your heart" Yes, I watched all the holiday movies this past month and was inspired by a few including the 1988 take of the Dickens Classic :) Mostly as I've been sick in bed making these picture vids I've been reading. It really is a better exercise for the brain as well as the heart and soul. About the episode title- The Aramaic word for the neighbor we are to love includes all near us, all we think about and have thought about including ourselves. That word in Aramaic is "kareb". The Aramaic expands those we must love under the Second Commandment to include all within our awareness. Think on it. Peace be with you :)

Collected and cut by Timothy Paul Taylor (The Christmas Guy) 12/24/09 TRT 2:57 Christmas is marked on the 25th of December (7th of January for Orthodox Christians). Christmas is a Christian holy day that marks the birth of Jesus, the son of God. The Gospels do not mention the date of Jesus' birth. It was not until the 4th century AD that Pope Julius I set 25th December as the date for Christmas. This was an attempt to Christianise the Pagan celebrations that already took place at this time of year. By 529, 25th December had become a civil holiday and by 567 the twelve days from 25th December to the Epiphany were public holidays. Christmas is not only a Christian festival. The celebration has roots in the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, the festivals of the ancient Greeks, the beliefs of the Druids and the folk customs of Europe. Christmas comes just after the middle of winter. The sun is strengthening and the days are beginning to grow longer. For people throughout history this has been a time of feasting and celebration. Christmas has always been a strange combination of Christian, Pagan and folk traditions. As far back as 389 AD, St Gregory Nazianzen (one of the Four Fathers of the Greek Church) warned against 'feasting in excess, dancing and crowning the doors'. The Church was already finding it hard to bury the Pagan remnants of the midwinter festival. An important part of today's Christmas is the myth of Father Christmas (aka Santa Claus aka Pere Noel among others). His origins are in Christian and European tradition. But the visual image of Father Christmas that we have today is the one popularised by American card-makers in the Victorian era. Traditionally, Father Christmas visits houses at midnight on Christmas Eve, coming down the chimney to leave presents. Children hang up stockings - nowadays usually large socks with Christmas patterns knitted into them - for Father Christmas to fill with little toys and presents ('stocking fillers'). With carol concerts, Christmas trees, office parties, midnight mass, and television programmes, today's festival has elements of the Pagan, Christian and folk traditions. Christmas remains a time to forget about the long dark days and celebrate with friends and family. Christmas. Encyclopedia Britannica.
