Once again Haiti has been affected by a natural disaster, this time an earthquake. It makes me wonder if that country is cursed or something. How unlucky can one country be? We as Trinidadians should consider ourselves to be blessed and thank God that so far we have been relatively untouched by natural disasters. I often wonder if our blessings come from the fact that so many religions are represented in Trinidad and Tobago. We just can’t help but be blessed.
In viewing the pictures of the earthquake, I questioned the soundness of some of the infrastructure in the first place. A country such as Haiti that has been through constant turmoil, building safety may not have been high up on the list of priorities. As such buildings may have been constructed without proper inspections being done. Additionally, with corruption of Government Officials being a major problem, even if inspections were done I am sure that the quality of inspection would be below standard.
So at this time when we Trinbagonians are feting and spending money on lavish ceremonial openings for Parliament, we also need to keep in our prayers our brothers and sisters in Haiti. What are your thoughts on the Earthquake and the general trials and tribulations that the Haitian people have been experiencing?

Trinidad and Tobago has its fair share of judgement coming, sooner than we may think. God doesn't necessarily show grace to people because of the things they do; His grace is not hinged on human merit. However, each and every person is responsible for their sin; our conscience bears witness to such a fact. Take a read at Luke 13:1-5, which is very applicable to TnT and the ituation with Haiti:

You and all people of Trinidad and Tobago need to repent and believe the Gospel - believe in the work of Christ alone for the remission of your sins.
"Whoever believes in the Son has life, who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on Him." - John 3:36
Are we ready for a natural disaster in Trinidad and Tobago? Somehow, I don't think we're prepared if disaster strikes.
ReplyDeleteQuote, of course we are not prepared for a disaster of that magnitude. I think we as a country take it for granted that we would always escape natural disasters.
