After Tragedy

Filed under: Noah's Posts

My guess is that most people reading this blog live pretty normal lives.

We go to school when we are young. We get jobs and spend most of our adult lives employed. We have families. Somewhere along the way we face a crisis or two – a lost job or the death of a parent. But mostly our lives follow what should be a pretty comfortable progression.

This isn’t everyone’s experience. Some people endure tragedies that I, for one, can’t even comprehend. In many cases these people who should, by all rights, be devastated turn their own tragedies into beacons of hope for others. I can think of no more heroic act than that.

Here’s a great example of one such case.

My question to you (and to me) today: What will you do with the crises in your life?
