Other News:
I recently learned of a statistic that truly pricked my heart. There are currently 143,000,000 orphans on the earth (defined as a child who has lost one or both parents). How does this statistic feel? Can we comprehend it? Does it impact us? Or do our eyes just scan over statistics like this in the newspaper as we race to get to the sports section, or the stock market report, or the weather report? Jesus weeps for the children. May the things that break the heart of God break our heart as well.
