I've never been to Haiti. I've known of a few missionaries over the years who have been and served God in that country. Today the Haitians are suffering a demise so severe most of us can not understand what they are going through. I posted this picture of the beach in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, because as Haiti's neighbor, that's the closest I could come for a picture for this post. Sadly, this beautiful beach does not represent what most people on these islands experience on an everyday basis. And now, especially, their world has been turned upside down.

Someday, my hope is to get those on here and share them with you, my reader. Until then, enjoy the sands!
