For the past few days, I've been glued to the radio at news time, listening for reports about Japan. I have a cousin over there. He went to teach English, met a lovely woman, and now has two adorable children. They are safe, as are the family members of our L'Arche assistants from Japan. The L'Arche community in Japan is fine, too... but my heart goes out to all those who are dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear powerplant disasters.
As small as the world is getting through our interconnectedness, we are still powerless when it comes to the force of nature. God, please be with our brothers and sisters in Japan. Amen.
