  • The Kids Started School!

    by Matt Bush
    There are a lot of other differences, and it may seem like I am complaining, but please believe that I am not. Things are just different in the 2 countries, and especially when it comes to school.

  • The Haitian Border Crisis

    by Matt Bush
    The vast majority of the Haitians that are in Texas right now have not been in Haiti for years. It is no longer their home. They are being sent back to a nation that just went through another devastating earthquake, where gangs control the capital city, and where their President was just assassinated in his own home.

    by Matt Bush
    Let's stop trying to fit GOD into our plan, our goals, and our life because, in all honesty, He is not going to fit!

  • Can Haiti Catch a Break?

    by Matt Bush
    Right after the earthquake, the Haitian government, NGOs (non governmental organizations), and other aid organizations have struggled to get supplies to the affected areas. This is to be expected when infrastructure is what it is in Haiti and the epicenter of the earthquake is so far away from the capital city of Port Au Prince.

  • Theology Thursday: Prayer In The Church

    by Matt Bush

    But I want to call our attention to the way that prayer is viewed in the Old Testament, by Jesus, and by the church and I want us to ask ourselves:

    Does my church view prayer in that same way?

  • Theology Thursday: Joy in Christ

    by Matt Bush
    My challenge is for all of us to live joyfully. My challenge is for us (me included) to not live defeated, to not live in opposition to those we disagree with, and to live our lives like we are in the presence of GOD...Because we are His sons and daughters right now and eventually we will be in His Presence...Forever.

  • Recovery And Relief Efforts: Pray For A Miracle!

    by Matt Bush
    Here is my hope and my prayer for what is about to happen in Haiti. The recovery effort is underway right now and there is no way for chaos to not be at least a part of something like this. My prayer is that the next step will help this area of Haiti become something new and something better.

  • Theology Thursday: Can Helping Hurt?

    by Matt Bush
    I am reminded of the 2010 earthquake where billions (yes, "billions" with a "b") of dollars were raised for the relief effort. A short 12 years later, another earthquake hits and the country is in even worse shape than it was prior to 2010.

  • The Earthquake

    by Matt Bush
    I cannot believe that I am writing a blog about another earthquake in Haiti. Just a month after the President was assassinated, as no government really exists, and right before a Tropical Storm traveled directly over the epicenter of the earthquake. It is a really difficult thing to comprehend.
