Day #82 started off somberly, with news on the Today Show from 3/22/16 about the terrorist attacks in Belgium. Brussels today, attacks in Turkey over the past few months (that get far less air time in the media), daily attacks against tourists and residents in Israel, San Bernadino, South Carolina.....one could get really caught up in the horrible news of the day. And, as people pray for the victims, we should also pray for the situations that make people feel so lost that terror is their only solution they can find. I know a saying in the 60s was "Make Love, Not War," but it's true. What we need in this world today is more love for each other, more caring, more understanding, more tolerance. Unfortunately that is not what seems to sell on the media and it's not what the politicians (at home here in the US and abroad) seem to be focusing on. For me, I want to focus on love. Maybe it's because it is Holy Week, maybe it's because I am tired of the focus on hate and fear. But truly, we (as a people of this Earth) are nothing without love.
