" In the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking. They were getting married. They were giving their daughters to be married. They did all those things right up to the day Noah entered the ark. They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes. Matthew 25:38,39

Haiti is considered the poorest nation in the western hemisphere and yet no one ever imagined the disaster that happened on January 12, 2010. And while we might talk discuss for hours the “why?” question … or even the “how did it happen?” question, the point is that they were not prepared … the world was not prepared … no one knew that it was going to happen … no one was looking for it. Like the Tsunami and Katrina, everyone was taken by surprise.

^{We, from the relative safety of not being in Haiti, perhaps feel as though we’re safe. But the truth is that we don’t know at what time or hour or in what manner the Lord will chose to end our lives. It might be in a natural disaster or it might be that we just don’t wake up tomorrow morning. From that point of view … from the outlook that we really don’t know what the future holds … what is most important today? Who do you need to make amends with? Who do you need to hug? What good deed, left undone, needs to get done? May God show you what He has planned for you this day.}
