The Strength of What Remains

I was privileged to spend four amazing, heart breaking days with Union College - Lincoln, Nebraska International Rescue & Relief team in towns around Burlingham, AL, where an F5 tornado hit just a day before. What a privilege to see these towns at their most vulnerable moments; watching them rise as strong communities working together to survive.

Daily, we grossly underestimate the good of those around us.





More blogs to come... my brain is still sorting through the experience. 

Most of these photos are available on my Facebook page with explanations under them.

Strong, beautiful one--thank you for going, for being who you are, a presence of healing and help in such a broken world. Powerful to see Michael D. here too, having come thru so much personal pain to offer so much hope. Somehow all that hurt can indeed make what remains stronger.
