I was happy to read this report that the South Korean government reached consensus with the Taliban. The rest of the medical missionaries may be on their way home.

Here is an article about a retired couple who spent a year volunteering with rebuilding efforts in Waveland, Mississippi. Other volunteers reported in the Daily Tar Heel that this city is still “gone” — as in the beachfront part of town has simply ceased to exist. In two years, people still haven’t moved back.
I loved this quote from the retired couple:

“I’m not a Bible thumper, but this changes your outlook . . . The only real way most of us know to be obedient to God is to give back to others.”
