As of this writing, Hurricane Irma is about to invade Florida. It is reported to be a Category 5 storm. Many people are evacuating, while others cannot leave their homes and must prepare to shelter in place. The region will inevitably experience catastrophic effects, and this is on the heels of the devastating Hurricane Harvey that struck Texas.
Hurricane Harvey has brought despair and heartache. The devastation will be with us for years to come. Whether we are in Texas or in other parts of the world, we feel the intense pain that the storm has brought.
With continual wars and conflict throughout the world, it sometimes is hard to imagine that good can percolate through colossal adversity. But it does. There always seem to be people who are extending their hands or opening their arms to those who need help. Fortunately, there are many people among us who are wired to do so.
