我見 我思 我聞

溫暖人間 人溺己溺

今天上午我們在美南新聞廣場上展開了一場救災活動，感謝國會議員格林好弟兄之協助，來自休斯敦食物銀行之大卡車加入了救人行列，多年來，當大家遭遇災難時， 我們都願意伸出援手 略盡薄力，這也是我此生中最感到溫馨的時刻，看到無數災民经過了美南新聞廣場，心中也是五味雜陳，有多少生活在社會底層不幸的兄弟姐妹們。

在美洲大陸生活了數十年，上週之嚴寒風雪，考驗了在生死存亡之關健時刻，如何求生，但是許多人還是在災难中失去了生命。

居住在墨西哥灣加維士頓市的兩位居民居然在寒冷之天氣中活活凍死，一位退役老兵因氧氣呼吸氣缺電而不治。

當氣溫降至零下十七度時，上週最高峯時間有超過四百萬家庭失去電力，更有許多家庭因水管破裂而沒有飲水。

今天我們必須嚴厲地檢討，為何徳州遭受如此大之災情，除了天災，更是人禍，如果不立即改善，未來之难題仍然無法解決。

拜登總統週五將到訪德州休斯敦，他對災區及災民之關懐，我們是無比之感激，希望天佑美國了。

 Sending Warmth To The Community

Our dear brother Congressman Al Green’s Winter Storm Recovery Drive came to the International Trade Center today. With the help of the Houston Food Bank’s sponsorship, we will be able to help many families in this area to get some much needed food and water. Over the last several years our community has suffered so much in many natural disasters. We are doing our best to help each other.

Last week’s power outages and loss of running water have left Texas and other parts of the south still feeling the affects of the deep freeze up until this week. The storms have also delayed the federal government’s delivery of vaccines to several states and has caused a serious shortage of food and water.

President Biden has now signed a major disaster declaration for Texas and he will pay a visit to Houston on Friday.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has convened a meeting of state legislators to discuss how the weather crisis happened last week. The state’s power plants were not ready for the freezing conditions and natural gas was hit the hardest. Production froze as did the pipelines that transport the gas.

We are so worried that if the government does not take care of this problem now, we might be facing the same problem in the future.
