Hurricane Ike took a toll on our country that not many are aware of.  Most of us have gone back to “normal life” since the news cycle surrounding the hurricane ended.  Check out this blog by my friend, Jeff.  He writes about our role in all of this, and tries to explain some of the questions we all have regarding this.  

Here’s an excerpt:

“How do you change the world? First of all, you have to believe it needs to be changed. Take what happened in Galveston, TX almost two weeks ago. Was that right? Did those people ‘get what was coming to them’? At this point, does that even matter? Some people are content (or maybe complacent) with the way things are.  For some depraved reason, they believe that our current state of affairs (suffering, disaster, hunger, poverty) is as good as it gets. I don’t know exactly how all that works out in the end, but I can’t shake this feeling that things just aren’t how they should be.”
