I am not sure that there are more tragedies in the world these days or if we are just more connected and the news becomes immediate and personal.
There are some good things about that for people of prayer: deeper, closer connectedness.
The danger is numbness and the blink factor.
We get distracted; we blink; we miss something; we kick ourselves; we go on.
We keep finding bodies broken, bleeding, breathless, and pleading.
For families and survivors of the tragedies among us - May you find hope on the wings of tragedy.
We are all connected - even if the web goes down.
