I see, I hear, I ache to comfort, to make right. I'm shocked, stunned, humbled. I watched a little boy several days after surviving the tsunami crying out constantly; "the water, the water is coming!" His mother, grandmother can't sooth him, they hold him, wipe his tears, try to hush him. He can't stop. Lots of words…no tears.

If I were in Canada I would be angry as well. I want to encourage you. One way we can identify with the fisherman and others in the tragedy is to pray for them. Many have already came to Christ. We need to pray that through this devastation that God can have His saving Grace so shine that the lives who have survived can proclaim God's saving grace that you and I have already experienced. Keep up the good work. :) I echo your sentiment. If I were in Canada I would be angry as well. I want to encourage you.

I keep thinking one of the dead or missing could have been someone I know and love... I don't know how to identify with a fisherman off the coast of a Burma or Thailand - who has lost his family, his wife, his children, his village, his boat. If tourists are a psychological way to comphrehend and reach out, so be it. Currently I am ashamed of - and angry at - the Canadian government. Thank you for your kind words.
