The Power of Community 

September 15th, 2008

 

In the wake of all the tremendously destructive power of Hurricane season, I think it is really important that we rally around those Greedy or Needy community members that have been unfortunately affected by these forces of nature. The next month will be an extremely difficult time for many and our support is needed. The always amazing product of disastrous events is the community support and care that surrounds it. We are all blessed to be able to connect with others anywhere in the world through the power of the internet, and the community of GoN is one of the best out there for caring for those in need.

So lets all make sure we remember all those struggling through a tough time, no matter where they are on the globe, as they are all part of the same community. Spectacular things happen when passionate people come together, even in the wake of disaster and strife. Lets be thankful that we can reach out and connect, whether through granting a wish, giving a call, posting on a forum, donating to the Red Cross, or saying a prayer. Everything helps, lets each do our part.

    Great post Mr. Doug. Even if you give $1.00 to the red cross it makes a differance. I know if I lived back that way I would be so thankful for just abuck in a time of need. I am also a true believe in paying it forward with no expectations. I chalenge all of you to donate just a buck in the memory of any lost loved one. :) Keep their memory alive with a very small $1.00 donation.

    Great Post
    Everyone anytime needs to look out for each other, their neighbors, seniors, family and friends.
    Any little thing one does for each other helps.
    Our country has had alot of natural disasters in the last few years.
