It seemed like Armageddon, with the news and all. To this day, its still in the news.

Yet, just Sat, Apr 20, 2013 "Earthquake kills 157, injures 5,700 in China's Sichuan." Heard about it for a minute, then forgotten.

Fri, May 10, 2013 "Bangladesh workers find survivor in factory rubble. where the death toll shot past 1,000". Heard about it for a minute, then forgotten.

I am sorry, but Maybe next time, these world tragedies, will get a bit of attention.
Maybe next time, it wont be like the end of the world, when 3 people die in a tragedy! And maybe one billion people wont be vilified, for the actions of 2 crazy brothers.

Just maybe these kinds of tragedies, can bring some perspective, about insignificant random events like in Boston. The lord does work in mysterious ways.


That being said, my heart goes out to the victims families, and everyone affected by the devastation, sincerely.

I actually agree with you Wildcat.. I was just saying this the other day.
