January 20, 2010 – 11:31 pm by Daniel JosephsI know that everyone has been following the tragedy that has taken place in Haiti, but I must relay that although its been over 7 days since the earth shook Haiti, I still can’t pry my eyes away from the streaming images on CNN. And, after seeing that several people were found alive yesterday, despite the fact that they were buried under rubble for 7 days, there is only one word that comes to mind: Miracle. Even the medical experts who were recounting the incident on CNN this morning were dumbfounded as to how these people could survive for one week without food and water. They said, “It has been common knowledge to follow the rule of 4. A human being can’t survive 4 minutes without oxygen, 4 days without water and 40 days without food. It is remarkable how these people survived over 7 days without water, let alone an elderly woman and two young children.” They can’t explain it. Just the power of human will.
If you can afford to send $10 to help the people of Haiti, please text “Haiti” to 90999. This goes directly to the American Red Cross.
