I don't think we can appreciate or fathom the immense suffering caused by the Tsunami disaster that we witnessed earlier this year. Here in the west, we were exposed to the smallest fraction of the horror wrecked upon so many innocent people, so far away from our shores. I'll never forget a comment one of my fellow teachers made to me one morning as I awaited the children before class. As The children were entering, I saw a fifth grader who I had two years ago in my class. The child had quite a few issues confronting him, and had been quite a challenge to the teachers who had had him. I asked the teacher in the room across the hall from me "How's ***** doing these days?" She responded, "Well thanks to God he's doing much better!"
I responded, "Don't thank God, Thank the teachers who have taught *****!" Can you imagine, God turns his back on over 350,000 wretched souls, but cares enough to intercede in the life of one suburban child!
