Homeless

1 million homeless?!?!?! Where do we go from here? Any thoughts as to how we solve a problem of this scope?

Charity

Great job by so many organizations to raise money for Haiti... Doesnt it make you feel good to be a human being seeing all this outreach???? Cant wait until we are ready to do our part in KNOX!!!! Loved the performances at the Hope for Haiti telethon myself... Any favorites? Thoughts? Do they do it for a good cause or is it a publicity stunt? The cynic comes out...

Perspective...

I know many of you have mentioned on the blog the lack of care we often see from our peers, perhaps this would provide them perspective on reality... This conversation is copied from a combination of social networking sites being used to help keep aid moving and spread news in Haiti.
