My heart just broke

Read this updated story of what's happening in Congo. It's so hard to read. To think that today I was worried about how much gas was in the car, deadlines I have to meet, and how hungry I am. Unbelievable. I see words like 'Machetes' and 'children' in the same sentence and I cringe. 

Be strong and take heart all you who hope in the Lord. 
Psalm 31:23-24

I got an email today about another horrible situation going on in India. This kind of turmoil just doesn't even register on our radar here in America. Ever seen "Hotel Rwanda?"

I haven't heard about India? You'd think there would be some exposure to our 'world' and not just our 'world we've consumed ourselves in'. I have only seen bits of Hotel Rwanda. Heard it's pretty heart-wrenching.
