I am just heartsick at the daily news of deaths from the Indian Ocean’s tsunamis. So many people dead in this disaster, the numbers are simply staggering. I am reminded of how devastated our country was on September 11, 2001, and then think about that number of victims times ten. How does a country, much less a world region, recover from this? May God have mercy on them and may the rest of us be gracious in assistance.

Amen, rt
This morning I had to stop myself and try to take in the enormity of the whole ordeal. I got sick just thinking about how completely removed I feel from this tragedy, and therefore how nonchalant I have been about it. Since the first reports I found myself thinking, “oh how sad for them”, and not letting myself be affected by the scale of the damage. Praying for those involved helps… but I still feel a bit disgusted at my lack of emotional response.
