There are some situations where I wish we had the ability to just stop the world from moving on. I wish that the entire planet would be reverant to one persons time of tragedy or need.
Yesterday my little sister had to take her 7-year-old dog in to be put to rest. He was very sick and this decision came after a lot of tears, consideration, and visits to the vet. It was hard to have to think about the details of life, the to-do lists and schedules.
The same thing occurred to me when I was in Zimbabwe. Eating, drinking, plans, lists, it all keeps going no matter what is happening to mankind. The thankful heart that the last few hours of work sped by gets forgotten when it would be more appropriate for time to stand still.
