TRAGIC MEMORIES

So, the past few days I have been working on creating this video for my church. It consists of pictures flashing on the screen kind of like a slide show. The song its set to Praise You in the Storm. The song by itself is very touching, but a thought came to me that I could make this video using certain events that were impacting: September 11, Sri Lanka Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and Soldiers in Iraq. It really turned out well, needless to say the day I spent researching pics online was so devastating to even see over a computer the mass devastation these events involved. Heartwrenching. What a tearful day. It gave me such a sense of compassion and desperation for these sufferers and survivors. It makes you realize that it truly is a small world after all, and no matter where you go human suffering, and pain and loss is the same in every language, every country,every ethnicity. Everyone grieves, everyone suffers. I just wanted to touch the faces of those crying, embrace those children in Sri Lanka lost and forlorn without their families. Hold the hands of the horrified people dealing with 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina. It makes me want to do more. Find ways to help these people. Bring comfort when there has been such loss. It is a eye opener, truly looking at the faces of such a tragedy. It is to easy to hear about these things on the news, feel sorry for these people but distance yourself so you don't do anything about it. Just go about your pretty, neat & tidy everyday lives. Not again, next time I am going to contribute some way, somehow. It won't sit right with me otherwise.
