Oklahoma Monetary Relief

We really don't know when it might be our turn to experience a disaster.  If it should happen to any one of us, I hope our neighbors are there to help.  We are indeed our brother's keeper.  I don't think that we can get away from that responsibility.

In the last few years, there have been severe hurricanes, tornadoes, and flooding--natural disasters that we have been unprepared to handle.  Often there has been little or no time to prepare for evacuation or to seek shelter.

Unfortunately, at this vulnerable time for those directly involved in the disaster and for those who are willing and able to help, there are pitfalls.  There are so many people wanting to take advantage of this situation for their own gain.

If you feel compelled to help in the Oklahoma Relief, donate money to the Red Cross or the Salvation Army.  I feel these two organizations are in the best position to do the most good in a bad situation.

God bless you and God keep you safe.
