Mac's Blog for the Wweek of 04 January 2005
This week all of our thoughts are turned to the tragedy in the South East Asian area of our planet, where a natural disaster, a Tsunami, far outstripped anything mankind has ever done to fellow man. It is estimated that over 120,000 people have lost their lives and devastation is everywhere in these countries. Please, read the following sites, and then consider what you can do to help. You will see a selection of donation sites on the bottom of this blog. May God protect you and yours from ever experiencing devastation like this. Please help your brothers and sisters around the world in their fight for survival.
Comment on this weeks individual selections is unnecessary.

My wish for 2005? That we all learn how much we need each other, worldwide, and work toward rebuiding rather than eliminating human life.
May your New Year be fruitful and may your heart reach out to help others.
