What do you do...

in the face of such need...

What do you do when you see people emptying their house of everything: beds, appliances...

What do you do when you don't know who has people to help them and who is living in desperate need?

What do you do?  How do you help?  How do you even begin to know where to start?

And maybe things are already being done...donations being taken...

There is part of me that wants to jump into action, to do what I need to do to make this crisis pass away...but I don't know what to do yet.

The first day was filled with action.  We prayed.  We did what we needed to do with what was facing us right that moment.  But now...

I see other people working hard at cleaning up, but I...

I don't really know where I fit into it all.  I don't really know what it is I can do.

The emotions are catching up with me.  Grieving.  But not yet knowing what to do in order to move forward.

Just living in each moment...which I guess is really all we can do when living at any given moment...

But what do you do?  Just care for those around you and hope the others get cared for as well?

I'm hoping the church will provide some answers, that when I go tomorrow I will hear others who are ready to move forward with a plan.  I don't like to think of people going to bed tonight with nothing, and I have no way of knowing how many cases like that there are...and maybe the grand scope of things isn't my problem, but still...

I'd like to do something.
