Google and Disaster Relief

Published on February 27, 2010 in General

By now you have heard about the earthquake in Chile.  I am not going to write about that or comment about.  Of course we are praying for the country and it has impacted us since there is a large number of Chilean families in our congregation.  When someone in the body hurts … we all do.

Instead what I wanted to bring to your attention is how easy it has become to help.  And how technology is in the middle of it all.  Attached is the picture of the Google page set up to aid in the relief of the Chilean disaster - http://www.google.com/relief/chileearthquake/.

Is Google at the center of everything?

A Heart Divided – Reflections of Society

From the actual site – We contacted heart specialist, Chris Thornley, and had him create a “highly accurate” map of modern human passions for a new tshirt. After years of research (and several transplants), Chris developed the above: a definitive map of human passions. While the items included apply to all… proportions may vary. For this reason, we are considering increasing the size of the region allocated to the Original Star Wars Trilogy.

I saw this through another Posterous that I follow for work reasons … but I thought it should be posted here for future reference and perhaps a lesson or two at church.

To me it is a scary picture of us.
Luke 6:45 says it well…
“The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.”

What do we think about?
What consumes our thoughts?
