Life is too short...

Once more, this particular blog isn't necessarily about weight loss, rather about what we have! I'm sitting here watching "Hope for Haiti Now" and I am so touched and so moved.

Not since 9/11 have I seen Americans come together and just help each other like this! I believe there is a moment in every presidency where all politics should be put aside, and we all become human beings.  We're not democrats, we're not republicans we are people, on a spinning globe full of so many other PEOPLE!! Even with another country, we realize they aren't creatures, they are people too.  They have families and friends and lives!

I sit here, day after day struggling about losing weight! But I have food. I can drive in my car, go up my elevator walk into my apartment and go to my fridge.  Should I have my fresh fruit, or maybe my low calorie yogurt! Oh, I don't want plain water, I want crystal light!!

These people in Haiti NEED water, they need food! It's as simple as that! I also am watching and listening, and how lucky are we to have the health care we have?! Doctors are using vodka to disinfect, people are getting legs amputated in the middle of parks! How lucky are we, if we have a bump, or a cold, we can just go to the doctor and get pills!?

These people in Haiti need help, simple as that.  We call ourselves Americans, we call ourselves Christians, well people, let's put our money where our mouth is!  Let's help the people who are suffering, who have lost EVERYTHING.  Give of ourselves to help them!


James 2:14-17 

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
