Snow down

Don't know about you but I love the snow!!! Its great stuff. I wish we would have had more in Nottingham but know the problems it has caused across the country. However the daily reporting of the "chaos" is start to feel a bit repetitive and over the top. Why is it that people seem to think that we have a right for all the roads, schools and shops to be kept open so that we can carry on as we usually do. Why don't we just slow down a bit and take stock of what we're doing, rather than worry about what we can't do. Is it realistic to carry on as normal with the conditions the way they were/are. Why don't we make the most of the time to stay at home, be with the family and enjoying the snow. We have become a 24 hours society that feels that if we go slow we are not doing enough or being productive or stopping the wheels of industry from producing what we don't need.

Not only that, we seem to have lost are ability to "get by" in hardship and trouble. I don't want to belittle peoples troubles with the snow but as we see the situation in Haiti we see what chaos really looks like and the fine line between life and death for those people affected by that tragedy. For all are disruption, we still have our lives, lively hood and homes but for the Haitian people, like so many in our world, they have had their lives destroyed.

Please pray for the people of Haiti and for the rescue teams to get in as soon as possible.
