A disaster that puts everything into perspective

Stories are now being told of the utter horror that has unfolded in Victoria.

I hug my children tight, as I hear of mothers and fathers trying desperately - and hopelessly - to escape.

The loss of life, the loss of homes, and the helplessness of having everything you own destroyed. It gives me such clear perspective on the tiny little problems - hiccups really - that arise daily in our lives.
