Myanmar: Through the eyes of a mission worker

The Obnoxious 5xmom uploads an email of a mission worker in Myanmar: “It is a sad sight. Nature unleashed an orgy of death and mayhem, wounding an already suffering population. Yesterday, with tears in their eyes, women explained how the waves snatched their babes from their bosoms. A mighty tidal wave ensured that tears stayed on as the children embraced watery graves.”

    This tragic story is made all the worse by the rulers in Burma, who have effectively dictated that thousands more watch their babies die of starvation and disease. How horrible that their rulers are literally stealing a chance for survival from so many innocent children because the fear they will loose power. Hopefully, they will loose power anyway. It’s up to the people of Burma. Adults have the ability to rise against evil, however children do not.

    I pity the children, and pray that the adults in this poor country can find the courage to oust those in power who have served them so miserably. If not willing to stand up for themselves, surely they can stand up for their children. What have they got to loose but poverty and death?
