The Myanmar Cyclone

Competing on the airwaves with the political news is the horrible news out of Myanmar (formerly Burma) of the incredible devastation caused by the recent cyclone. Now, reports are estimating over 100,000 people may be dead and many more without shelter, food, clean water, and medicine. This is only weeks after a devastating cyclone struck Bangladesh, killing thousands.

We have our challenges here in the U.S., but it's worth remembering that our worst days here would be the best days for so many people in the world who live in poverty and under tyranny.
