It is easy to become de-sensitized to all the awfulness happening around the globe. I felt that as a teenager listening to Walter Cronkite (CBS) recite daily fatality numbers from Vietnam at my family’s dinner table. And today, do I just take for granted the gradual spread of a biological plague, armed aggression, mass kidnap/rape and televised be-headings ? I pray about resolution and peace and God’s guidance of leaders, but does my daily level of outrage match up with the outrage of the atrocities ? Probably not, as I go about my daily activities. I scare myself with indifference. WHAT THE HECK !
