The Sunday school group I met with today was discussing the Gulf situation. I did a little investigation and found a few links to secular organizations promoting volunteer and donation opportunities. I'm not seeing these publicized very well... Why aren't they plastered all over Facebook? Can YOU help get them out?

I'll admit that I haven't done a lot of due diligence on the sites, but an initial investigation and a bit of prayer has convinced me that they are reputable. I wasn't able to immediately find a centralized faith-based center for offering assistance, but I'll also admit that I didn't do an exhaustive search.
We may not be able to wade out in the muck and rescue a bird.
We may not be able to punch a BP executive in the nose.
But we CAN pray.
And we CAN support alternative sources of energy.
And we CAN reduce our consumption to decrease demand.
And we CAN email and post these links.
And we CAN cough up some cash for all the men, women and children whose health and livelihoods are being snatched away from them.
Do what YOU can.
