My heart is breaking for the people of Haiti. I want to help. Of course they have my prayers but I want to be able to tangibly help. This tragedy certainly puts my own struggles in perspective. Although finances and employment for my own family are tough right now––I have food. I have a roof over my head and all my family is safe.
The Pioneer Woman is giving a very generous offer at her blog. A Different Kind of Giveaway. Just leave a comment on that page and she will draw a “winner”. That winner will receive two (2) $500 donations to the Haitian-related charity of the winners’ choice.
Please, go, leave a comment. She also will donate one dime (10 cents) for every entry received in this giveaway to Haitian recovery efforts.
Thank you Pioneer Woman!

Now Go!!

Happy Independence

Ellis Island

A man may have to die for our country: but no man must, in any exclusive sense, live for his country. He who surrenders himself without reservation to the temporal claims of a nation, or a party, or a class is rendering to Caesar that which, of all things, most emphatically belongs to God: himself.

US President Barack Obama and Buchenwald survivor Elie Wiesel walk to 'Kleines Lager' (Little Camp) inside Buchenwald concentration camp, 05 Jun 2009

Today (June 5th) President Obama visited Buchenwald Concentration Camp. My Great Uncle, József Soltész, was subject to that horror.
The Voice of America site reports:
“The president said he saw the ovens where prisoners were cremated and the bunks where they were kept in what he called the most “unimaginable conditions.” He said the sites have not […]

Surely We Can Change

What to do with a love like that
And I don’t know
How to be a love like that
When all the love in the world
Is right here among us
And hatred too
And so we must choose
What our hands […]

These are my 3 daughters. They are now young women.
