Tragedy
comes in many shapes and sizes.
Regardless of whether
the disaster is man made or natural the result
is the same-devastation.
The terrorist attack on September 11,
2001 and the many natural disasters that
have struck reminds us how
precious life is and how important it is for
us to help one another.
Do
what you can for the organizations that help
people in the midst of disaster.
