"pulled to grace"

Watching CNN lately you’d see coverage of the Earthquake in Chile and all the disasters. This comes not long after the earthquake in Haiti. We mourn and lament with the people of Chile and Haiti.
When we see these disasters, what does it do to us?
I was watching the national news Thursday, and saw a high speed car chase. I looked closer and it said “Long Beach, CA.” The chase was taking place on the 105. I thought to myself, I drive on the 105.

The Wilderness

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on Tuesday, January 12. The quake struck 10 miles from the capital city of Port-au-Prince, toppling the presidential palace and leaving homes in ruins. Powerful aftershocks, some as strong as 5.9 in magnitude, continued throughout the night and into the morning.

Reports of injuries and death tolls are still unknown due to communications problems. But thousands are feared to be dead, while many more remain trapped in collapsed buildings. Their homes destroyed, people are in the streets with nowhere to go.
