if you feel like the news is heavier than heavy right now, that is because you are a smart, aware person and you are correct. just tell you, a remarkable snapshot of that today at the pentagon briefing today they have to transition from the huge emergency evacuation operations in afghanistan to the deployment of disaster medical teams from the defense department to u.s. hospitals overwhelmed by covid starting with one in louisiana today. then they moved onto the long list of coast guard and navy and other military resources they are deploying right now to help with the rescue and recovery operations in haiti after the earthquake there including multiple u.s. military field hospitals that are going to haiti right now as we speak. the reason the news feels heavy tonight is because it is. we pray for better days ahead.
