The chaos of the morning news is no place to seek the Lord of Life.  On the other hand, such chaos might jar a wayward soul into looking up.   If in that looking up, the wayward soul finds salvation, I guess we could give thanks for the absolute horror that is man.

“. . . the people living in darkness

have seen a great light;

on those living in the land of the shadow of death

a light has dawned.” (Matt 4: 16)
