Like many of us today, I’ve spent a lot of time watching the coverage of the powerful 8.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan and the Tsunami that washed away so much and even threatened our shores from half a world away.
My prayers go out to the many, many victims and the survivors that now have to pick up the pieces and try to rebuild their lives. Today is one of those days that should remind us that all of those things that we like to believe are so important to us like jobs, taxes, politics, race relations, and American Idol can become meaningless in a split-second.
This thing we call civilization is actually pretty darn fragile and can be swept away in a moment by forces much more powerful than we mere mortals can even comprehend.
Today is a day to reach out to those less fortunate ourselves while thanking God for our own good fortune.
