Who is REALLY going to Pray For Haiti?

It's hard to escape the images of despair and mayhem that plague the news about the devastation in Haiti. It's even harder to ignore the faces of the people...faces that look just like mine. I ask myself why? Why once again are the eyes staring back at me so similar to my own? Why are my people suffering once again?

 The limbs of the bodies pertruding from the concret, the bandaged heads, the exposed skin of the unclothed babies that wonder the streets they all share my same hue. Why? Why are my people suffering once again and who is Really going to Pray for them? Before the earthquake who even knew they existed.
I guess it's my own humanity (or lack there of) tugging at my heart strings. Because I know there was devastation in Haiti long before the earthquake. Devastation and poverty that most of us ignored. So who among us is Really going to pray for Haiti and her people? How many of us have sat in front of the television and watched in horror at the images being displayed, moved to tears but not to action? How many of our wallets have opened, producing credit cards and check books ready to aid and assist?
 We can rant and rave all day about what the government should and should not be doing. But what is most evident to me is that most of the faces of the thousands rushing to assist, those faces look nothing like mine. Why are we not answering the call? Why are we not aiding our own? And please let us not blame it on the media; protesting that for some reason they refuse to show the black volunteers? We should be there in legions..so many of us that our presence is undeniable. This is why I pose the question who is Really going to pray for Haiti? If you have been moved to prayer, then you will surely be moved to action. Is it not true that a  praying man is moved to perform works and deeds that resemble those of the Lord?
I am so guilty of not praying, not moving, not assisting; turning a blind eye not only to Haiti but to New Orleans, Rhwanda, South Africa and the list goes own. Putting up a fuss because no one else answered the call....a call that was meant for me.
Today I challenge myself as well as all of you to Really pray for Haiti and then MOVE, Give, Assist....Answer her call.

Giving is the most Phabolous thing you can ever do!
