Ice and Egypt

I called an Army office today seeking some information and got a recording: "We're sorry that our telephone hotline is closed today due to severe weather.  Please call back later in the week."  Then I headed to the gym and saw more headlines on both the storm and the uprising in Egypt.  While I've followed both of these stories briefly in recent days, today was the first time I'd been personally effected by either one.  Yesterday I saw the headline, Egypt and Oil, and was saddened that the only interest folks seemed to have in this major human outcry was whether or not the price of gasoline was going to rise.  Whether it's the Ice storm or Egyptian uprising it's amazing how most of us don't seem to really care unless it's impacting us personally.  I wonder, though, if that's how God views it?  I'm guessing that He sees His children in those areas and longs for them to call to Him for help.  Today, as many batten down the hatches bracing for the storm, and others across the sea protest for change, I'm going to call out to God on their behalf, and I hope you will too!
