Teaching my children - we sat this morning reading together about the tens of thousands of people dead and dying in the remains of the horrible earthquake that hit South Asia on Saturday. My eyes filled and my throat clogged as I tried to read to them. It's no easy task to explain this sort of thing to a 7 year old, but it is so important. It really puts things in perspective, especially after we've just experienced the evacuation of Houston prior to the arrival of hurricane Rita. My little one didn't understand what an earthquake was, and so she sat down to look at the pictures with me. I know she'll be thinking about the poor children trapped and dying Pakistani schools.
Even in the wake of New Orleans devastation, we see one more time that we are lucky to be alive.
