Another thing that has stuck with me is a photograph from a couple years back. A photographer was in Africa somewhere shooting pictures. He got one of a young child (could not have been more than 2 or 3, crouched down ond the ground, starving and apparently near death. He had apparently been with a group going to a refugee camp. The saddest thing about the who picture was the Vulture in the background, just waiting.
I remember reading that the photographer was more interested in getting the shot than stopping to give aid.
That same photographer commited suicide later on because he couldn't handle the experience he had on that trip.
There is plenty of awful in the world. Hence the Lord giving us Vodka.

LC has told me how awful they are & she convinced me not to watch Nick Berg's beheading.
Might have been Berg' s I'm thinking of, I don't remember if Pearl actually had a video. But I'm not about to google it for accuracy lol.

Yeah that sounds right. I think it was probably him. Regardless, that's imagery I can't get out of my head. Especially that...noise he made.

Most shocking for me has been seeing my father dead on bathroom floor in a hotel, part of the reason I have been MIA for few months
