The recent massive earthquake in Sendai Japan reminds us once again how fragile our society is. Our strength does not lie in the cities we’ve built or our impressive transportation infrastructure. One belch from a volcano or a shift the Earth’s plates show us that everything we think is so impressive is quite tenuous. Our strength lies in our bindings to one another, our willingness to serve, and our gratitude for the blessings of life itself.
