Let it Grow

Listen to the thunder shout, "I AM" -Grateful Dead
I talk to the wind, the wind cannot hear -King Crimson
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire -Jerry Lee Lewis

This (last) song is derived from a southern expression, which some Christians consider blasphemous, which refers to the moment the Holy Spirit manifested itself "as cloven tongues as of fire" and the Apostles spoke in tongues.

thunder, wind, and lightning is all very Godly (the face of God moved over the deep)
it feels better when you're bundled up inside, next to a fireplace or something.
I've been getting letters from Unicef, because I'm on their mailing list for giving some money once, and they say:

-this will be a bitterly cold winter for children in Afghanistan, where there is a resurgence of violence. THey need warm woolen blankets for bitter winter snows ($3 each).
-the 2010 Holiday Shopping List includes: polio immunizations, Oral Rehydration Salts to save the lives of children sturck by severe diarrheal dehydration, vaccinations against measles, tetanus, diphtheria, polio, whooping cough, and tuberculosis; water purification tablets, basic family water kits; micronutrient powder, high-protein biscuits especially designed for malnourished children, therapeutic milk; blankets, waterproof tarpaulins for emergency shelter, and sturdy tents for emergency shelters for families.

I've also heard
Gdradio.net also has an appeal by Michelle Obama to support the American red cross to assist with the effort in Haiti.

helping can be tax-deductible, of course.
