Cybersalt News

Like you, I have been particularly struck and moved by the devastation and horrible aftermath of the 8.9 earthquake, subsequent tsunami, and nuclear threat in Japan.

Throughout the day I pondered how appropriate it would be to send out the Cybersalt Digest in light of the magnitude of the suffering so grippingly relayed by video on the news. I soon decided that taking a day off in observation and respect to those who have been hit with so much would be the right thing to do.

My decision to do so was re-affirmed by something I heard on the television tonight. I was listening to the news on a local TV channel while working at my computer. When the news ended the next show to come on was "Entertainment Tonight" out of Hollywood. After the beginning credits of the show the hosts combined to deliver this opening line:

"The eyes of the world are focused on the devastating earthquake in Japan.  We have the latest in minutes.  But first, Charlie Sheen face to face in his own backyard with the L.A.P.D."

So, in the desire to be dignified and decent, the Cybersalt Digest breaks from our usual content today to pause, pray to Jesus for the Japanese people, and to reflect on what kind of humans God really wants us to be in light of the fragility of human life and the finality of eternity.
