Life is heavy

Take a drive around the Blogroll on my blog, and you'll find a lot of heaviness out there these days. Must be something in the water. Torture has become a part of our lexicon again (after all of these years of believing that "we are the good guys, we don't behave like barbarians")... the tsunami news is enough to make anyone stop and ponder the meaning of it all... Christians are at each others' throats over politics, abortion, homosexuality...

I have nothing new or profound to add to any of it. I'll just take it all in and think about it. And in the end, the most productive thing I'm likely to do with it is pray. Just pray.
