In just the past two weeks we have been confronted with the following: the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 with 239 people onboard; the freak explosion of a building in Harlem, killing eight people; a landslide in Washington State with the likelihood of over 100 dead; two firefighters perishing while on duty in Boston…and this is just the “breaking news.” Add the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, and multiple countries in Africa: each person caught up in these parts of the world surely has a heartbreaking story to tell.
