Eli's thoughts about the Earthquake



Earthquake

The earthquake that hit Haiti was caused by the movement of the geological plates. One plate goes under another and causes presser that is released by an earthquake.


In Haiti the earthquake caused a lot of damage. When it struck buildings collapsed, and the walls of other buildings rocked so that they flung heavy bricks at anyone that was in the buildings.


Many people were doing normal day things one-second, and were in heaven, or hell the next. People that weren’t killed, but trapped were found and saved, or died of starvation and thirst. Others that were safe lost family, friends, limbs, homes, and dreams.

They had food shortages. A jail fell freeing 2,000 killers. For a month or two help will come, but then people will hear less about it, and then they will forget about it, and the proud country of Haiti will be broken and alone.


It will take years for the people to recover, and will this help the people? Some people have come to Christ and know about the hope, this is the good thing. People will be more for a God that will help them, I hope that we can help more people think that going to Jesus is the best way out, not demons, and spirits. We can help them, or we can make them fell bad about it all.
