Thanks to JJ Resources again … helping us not to forget how we started off the year. I like what Jo (I think) wrote here …
“As a result of the recently organized Tsunami Aid Day, it was good to see quite a few people journaling about their thoughts and reflections regarding the event. God has His creative ways of touching lives and inspiring people to react. …. Different hearts and lives were moved, but only one thing remains constant in those hearts – and that is God. In God, we find love, despite the struggles and in the midst of darkness, there is light.”
Sandwiched in between are the personal reflections of individuals that were there.
*update: I really agree with what’s said in this post “A tsunami every 25 days”
we have short attention spans and a taste for the dramatic. We should do everything within our power to help those in SE Asia right now – and we should continue to help for many years to come!

The spark came partly through Conrad’s “Starting the “Essential 100″ post. I guess somehow we need to start somewhere, some extra guidance and baby steps are always good.
