I've felt so helpless over this tragedy. And I've shed so amny tears. But today, I decided to find ways to NOT feel helpless anymore. I live in Texas and a church in my community is working with the Red Cross and has opened a shelter here. I'm going there tomorrow with my cell phone (free nights and weekends) so that people who want to can use it. And I volunteered to work two mornings next week. I feel like I have to DO something about it.
And I'm sure I'll probably cry when I talk to these people. I'm hoping that it won't freak them out. That they'll be glad to have someone to cry with. I hope, I hope, I hope.
