A Year Later

News coverage today reminds us of one year ago when the world was shocked by the loss of lives and the destruction caused by the tsunami that struck southeast Asia. It is good to know that the United Methodist Church continues to be present in the rebuilding of this area as evidenced by this report. The meditations that were written last year in response to this event are quite appropriate to use as prayer and reflection today. Through our faith we know that in life and death God's love and grace protect. May it be so for those who are rebuilding their lives.
