| Quote Of The Week: | |

| Compassion for Haitians | |
| The Haitian people are suffering from the devastation of the recent earthquake. There was tremendous loss of life. For many of them, the grinding poverty that they had been living through before has only been intensified. Many more orphans roam the streets. It is a painful situation. | |
| There has been an outpouring of private charity, with people donating money, equipment, supplies and their time. Many people have traveled there to help in the critical early days. People truly are compassionate in times of tremendous need. It is a wonderful thing to behold. There really are heroes and saints who make a difference. Yet, something is very disturbing about the whole situation. |
