我见 我思 我闻

温暖人间 人溺己溺

今天上午我们在美南新闻广场上展开了一场救灾活动，感谢国会议员格林好弟兄之协助，来自休斯敦食物银行之大卡车加入了救人行列，多年来，当大家遭遇灾难时， 我们都愿意伸出援手 略尽薄力，这也是我此生中最感到温馨的时刻，看到无数灾民经过了美南新闻广场，心中也是五味杂陈，有多少生活在社会底层不幸的兄弟姐妹们。

在美洲大陆生活了数十年，上週之严寒风雪，考验了在生死存亡之关健时刻，如何求生，但是许多人还是在灾难中失去了生命。

居住在墨西哥湾加维士顿市的两位居民居然在寒冷之天气中活活冻死，一位退役老兵因氧气呼吸气缺电而不治。

当气温降至零下十七度时，上週最高峯时间有超过四百万家庭失去电力，更有许多家庭因水管破裂而没有饮水。

今天我们必须严厉地检讨，為何徳州遭受如此大之灾情，除了天灾，更是人祸，如果不立即改善，未来之难题仍然无法解决。

拜登总统週五将到访德州休斯敦，他对灾区及灾民之关懐，我们是无比之感激，希望天佑美国了。

 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.
