A change in perspective

Nothing this morning seems quite so important as updates emerge about the devastation of yesterday's earthquake in Haiti. News of the impoverished country enduring yet another round of suffering and hell is almost too painful to read.
Making lunches, dropping kids off at school, drinking the morning coffee and getting ready to teach yoga — the daily routine lacks substance and meaning. Everything I might have cursed yesterday about what is wrong and hard in my life returns today as a mocking reminder.
For an up close and personal view of Haiti, its people and Tuesday's destruction, check out this blog — http://livesayhaiti.blogspot.com/ — written by Tara Livesay, a missionary from Minnesota, living in Haiti with her husband and children.
