I would pray for their survival if I believed there was someone who heard prayers. If I believed that much, I would pray for their rescue immediately. We do know things can go wildly wrong in a heartbeat. Why do they never go right in a heartbeat, as well?

Maybe the people who are delivering the grief to Haiti will have a change of heart and allow them to breathe again.
