Helicopter hovering overhead.

I'm in my back garden and there's a helicopter hovering overhead. I admire the technology, but find myself trying to imagine what it must be like to be in Gaza knowing that technology overhead could mean death at any moment. I try to imagine that, but, tbh, I can't, because for me it *doesn't* mean that. Limits to human empathy. That's why we need God. We need (even if we have to make him/her/it up) a God who is there with them. Christ in the rubble.
