I am less than one week back from Haiti and already the poverty and need are slipping away from me.  It is hard to believe that it was real as I go about the business of being a rich American by virtue of my birth.  We spent the week working in a clinic in Grand Goave, Haiti that is operated by Lifeline Christian Mission.  We saw hundreds of patients that had walked and rode the tap-taps (Haitian bus service-50 passengers where we would put 20).  We treated worms, scabies, lice, diabetis, hypertension, infections, glaucoma etc. and tested for malaria, TB and HIV to name only a few.  Some people we were able to help, some not, but we prayed with all and all touched our hearts.  We visited our sponsor children's homes and were able to provide a bed for some to replace a mat on a dirt floor.  We gave out clothes, towels, shoes and food all in the name of Jesus and with the help of your generous contributions.  We attended spirited church services and took part in "the great prayer" as everyone lifted their voices together to their "PaPa" in praise and petition.  It made me feel so small and yet so heard by my "PaPa" at the same time.
