Perspective

Confession

When I first read about the earthquake in China, I was alarmed, but not necessarily concerned. Perhaps I have the opposite, yet equally errant bias of those I criticize regarding the Burma issue (see post In Our World). It’s so much easier for me to sympathize with the poor and oppressed rather than the wealthy and independent. But that doesn’t make it right. It only took one picture of children trapped under the rubble of their own school building to make me realize the devastating extent of this tragedy. As of today the number of deaths has risen to 15,000. Please pray for China.
